The long-snouted dolphin is a small marine mammal with a very long thin beak. It is known for jumping high out of the water and spinning around its axis up to seven times in one jump.
The long-snouted dolphin differs from related species by its very long beak and unique ability to spin in jumps. It is important for the ocean ecosystem because it controls the population of small fish and serves as food for large sharks and orcas.
