Stenella clymene
Clymene dolphin is a small oceanic dolphin up to two meters long. It lives in warm waters of the Atlantic and is known for jumping with spins in the air.
The Clymene dolphin differs from other dolphins by its short beak and a special dark marking on the head resembling a helmet. It is important for the ocean ecosystem as a hunter of fish and squids.
Hunts using echolocation.
