      Hi 🙂

      Interesting question….

      We think it could be a way for the dolphins to communicate with each other. For example, it could mean ‘keep swimming, more fish this way…’

      It is also possible they just do it for fun! We don’t know why spinner dolphins do it but not other species of dolphin does.
