Stenella longirostris
Very social dolphins with prominent beak. Feeds on small mesopelagic fish, squids & sergestid shrimps. They were found in Bohol Sea where has deep waters with plenty of squids.
Tropical waters.
Spinner were killed by purse seine fishing for tuna since they were often found associated with a group of tuna. Although the reason for association is unknown, fishers made use of this and locate tuna by sighting of dolphins, many dolphins were killed as by-catch.

That's what I meant. I was so captivated by them, I never looked at the ocean in the background :D
Aman, you mean whether they are wild or in captivity?
They were wild group found in Southern Bohol Sea off Jagna. There were plenty of cetaceans in that region =] (Or I misunderstood your question?)
