The rough-toothed dolphin resides off tenerife,
so you are very likely to spot it.
It’s quite primitive-looking, getting its name from the odd way its teeth are constructed.
These teeth are covered with fine vertical wrinkles, but these are not visible on live animals at sea.
The striped dolphin is another seasonal arrival off the coast of tenerife.
Because striped dolphins can move very rapidly to avoid boats, they are often called streakers.
Another seasonal visitor off tenerife is the Atlantic spotted dolphins.
This species may be an intermediary between the bottlenose dolphin and the pantropical spotted dolphin.
As the name suggests, many individuals, though not all, are patterned with spots
The common dolphin is a seasonal swimmer off tenerife. This species comes in two forms: the short- and long-beaked common dolphin. Common dolphins are often found in large groups (called pods) of hundreds or even thousands of individuals.
One year-round species off tenerife that you will see is the bottlenose dolphins. You will immediately recognize this smiling dolphin as the charismatic star of aquarium shows, but what a pleasure to see these sleek swimmers in the open sea where they can exceed eighteen miles (thirty kilometers) an hour.
The short-finned pilot whale is the most iconic whale in Tenerife and is present all year round. These resident whales live in stable family groups and are often seen resting near the surface. They are powerful swimmers with a bulbous head and a friendly, calm behaviour.
The sperm whale is the largest toothed whale on Earth and can occasionally be spotted off the coast of Tenerife. These deep divers search for giant squid and can stay underwater for more than an hour. Sightings are rare, but unforgettable.
Bryde’s whales migrate through Canary waters and are sometimes seen feeding close to the surface. They are sleek, fast, and recognized by the three ridges running along the top of their head.
The fin whale is the second-largest whale species in the world. They occasionally pass near Tenerife during migration periods. Fast and majestic, they are often called the “greyhounds of the sea.”
