This post is about a dolphin species which is Stenella frontalis, or the Atlantic Spotted Dolphin. Did you know that when they are young, they are born without spots, but as they get older, the spots keep coming? Also, they are extremely hard to track, unless they have a scar or any other permanent mark, as their spots can keep changing. Some have spots so close together, the dolphins seem to have a large, dark blur on their bodies, and some have distinct spots which are far away from each other.
