Hawaiian Spinner
Dolphin
Spinner dophins have
white bodies, a black mantle, and a dark eye patch. They are
found only in Hawaii. Their enemies are Tiger Sharks and
Cookie-Cutter Sharks. Spinner dophins eat small fish, squid,
and shrimp. They have an average life span of 12-40 years.
Spinner dophins are named for their beautiful acrobatics.
They feed at night. Their spins can be as high as 14 spins
in a row (up, down, or side to side.)
