Atlantic Humpback Dolphin
Atlantic Humpback Dolphin is one of many dolphin spicies that have been added to the long list of endangered animals. The unique caracteristicts of this specie of dolphin is its elevated and rounded dorsal fin. It is gray in color with lighter speckles markings along the ventral. The atlantic humpback dolphin is considered “critically endangered,” while it's greatest threat to survival is incidental bycatch by fisheries. These dolphins are mostly found in shallow waters off the coast of West Africa, thus they’re extremely vulnerable to the gillnets set by local fishermen. Atlantic Humpback dolphins are also susceptible to the “marine bushmeat” trade, as well as marine pollution. Today, it’s estimated that only 1,500 individuals are left in the wild. According to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, five species and six subspecies are endangered.
