Indian Ocean humpback dolphin
Sousa plumbea
The Indian humpback dolphin lives in the coastal waters of the Indian Ocean. It has a hump on its back in front of the dorsal fin, a gray body, and a streamlined shape.
The Indian humpback dolphin differs from other dolphins by its noticeable hump on the back. It is important for nature as a predator that helps control the fish population in coastal waters.
Hunts using echolocation.
