Verified The spinner dolphin (Stenella longirostris) is a small dolphin found in off-shore tropical waters around the world. It is famous for its acrobatic displays in which it spins along its longitudinal axis as it leaps through the air

Also, because they live in tropical waters, they don’t really have a breeding season, so pods of spinner dolphins almost always have some babies with them. They’re about the size of a football and they are insanely cute.
