Rough-toothed Dolphin Steno bredanensis
(left; the mammal people called them
"Steenos") is another acrobatic leaper. Because it occurs well offshore,
it has not been studied very much, and little is known about its life history.
It does not associate with tuna but was mostly encountered is small groups
of just a couple dozen. There are specimens of vagrant Rough-toothed Dolphins
as far north as Monterey County.
