rough-toothed dolphin
Steno bredanensis
The large-toothed dolphin lives in warm oceans. It has a long narrow beak and teeth with a rough surface due to grooves.
The large-toothed dolphin differs from other dolphins by its long beak without a boundary with the forehead and teeth with grooves. It is important for the ocean because it hunts sick animals and helps maintain balance in the food chain.
Hunts using echolocation.
