Pantropical spotted dolphin skull 3D Model

This is the skull from a pantropical spotted dolphin (Stenella Attenuata) which is one of several long-beaked oceanic dolphins that live in the equatorial waters of the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans. They are thought to be one of the most abundant dolphin species and can be found in offshore pods of over 1000 animals.

These dolphins use their long snout and sharp teeth to snap up open water prey like small fish and squid.
