Striped Dolphin

The striped dolphin is a slender oceanic dolphin marked by a dark stripe running from the eye toward the flipper and another sweeping toward the rear flank. A pale blaze rises toward the dorsal fin, creating a distinctive multi-toned pattern. Adults are approximately 1.8–2.6m long. The species inhabits warm-temperate and tropical offshore waters worldwide. (Wikipedia, general species account)

It feeds on small fish, squid and crustaceans and forms highly active schools that may number hundreds. Striped dolphins frequently leap, spin and perform long low jumps above the surface, but they are often less inclined to approach boats than common dolphins. (Wikipedia, general species account)
