Jump into the weekend with this pod of Spinner dolphins 🐬 The name ‘Spinner’ comes from their agile, yet energetic, ability to twist and jump out of the water. Why? Scientists still don’t fully know… could it be to remove parasites? Communicate with one another? Or perhaps as a way to ‘warm up’ before a night of hunting in deeper waters? Either way, Aldabra Atoll is an important ‘Marine Mammal Area’ for this acrobatic species, so let’s protect it, and learn more about them! 📹 @evileyelander #SpinnerDolphin #Dolphin #FriendsOfAldabra #SaveAldabra
