Dolphin

Common name: Atlantic Spotted Dolphin
Scientific Name: Stenella Frontalis
Habitat: Only in the Tropical areas of the Atlantic ocean such as the Bahamas
Reproduction: Females give birth every one to five years
Status: Currently endangered
Interesting facts:

1. Considered an "acrobatic species" that likes to play and chase waves from boats
2. can be underwater for 6 minutes, diving up to 60 meters
3. make sounds for echolocation like chirping and whistling

Major issues facing this animal: They are hunted and captured in the Caribbean Sea, for food and bait by fisheries.
I chose this animal because it seemed intriguing and is an endangered species
