), the Atlantic Humpback Dolphin has medium-sized robust body. It has long, distinct beak and moderately deepened tailstock. Dorsal fin of the Atlantic Humpback Dolphin varies in shape. It arises from wide, pronounced hump on middorsal side, and fin is generally small and falcate. The Atlantic Humpback Dolphin has broad flippers with rounded tips. Skin pigmentation is typically gray on back and sides and whitish underneath. Some individuals have dark specks on tailstock and below anterior edge of dorsal fin. There appears to be some sexual dimorphism in size, with males reaching greater lengths than females. Tooth count of the Atlantic Humpback Dolphin tends to be lower than that of the Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphin; upperjaw contains 27-32 teeth and lowerjaw contains 26-31 teeth.

Little is known about the diet of the Atlantic Humpback Dolphin. They generally feed in near-shore waters and around rocky reefs. Off the coast of Flamingos, Angola, cooperative herding of prey has been observed, with individuals using the coast to trap prey. Prey species primarily consist of small schooling fish including mullet (

As with feeding ecology,little is known about the life history of the Atlantic Humpback Dolphin. Mating activity has been observed in March-April, but breeding may occur over a longer time period. Length at sexually mature of a male is ¢.200 cm.

Typical daytime behaviors of Atlantic Humpback Dolphins include traveling, foraging, and socializing. There is no evidence for any obvious diurnal trends. Nevertheless, in the Flamingos region of Angola, Atlantic Humpback Dolphins spend more time foraging during flood tide and more time traveling during ebb and low tides. These individuals are generally observed swimming slowly and regularly surfacing; their average swim speed was 3-9 km/h. Off Flamingos, individuals foraged in one area for several hours, with dive times of more than one minute in length. Aerial behavior is uncommon.

The Atlantic Humpback Dolphin generally travels in groups of 5-7 individuals, although groups of up to 30-40 individuals have been reported. It has been observed in mixed-species groups with the Common Bottlenose Dolphin (

CITES Appendix I. Classified as Vulnerable on The IUCN Red List. Abundance of Atlantic Humpback Dolphin is estimated to be fewer than 10,000 individuals, with each subpopulation estimated at less than 1000 individuals. The total population is suspected to be in decline. Threats of most concern are direct and incidental catch. Incidental bycatch has been reported from Morocco (Western Sahara), Senegal, and Guinea-Bissau. Heavy use of inshore gillnets and beach seines is a major threat to the Atlantic Humpback Dolphin. West Africans have been known to hunt Atlantic Humpback Dolphins, mainly with harpoons, for human consumption. Local fishing communities of Joal and Fadiouth in Senegal and some other communities along the Petite Cote engaged in traditional hunts until at least 1996. Other threats include environmental contamination, habitat destruction (specifically from harbor construction and expansion and offshore industries), overfishing of prey species,live captures for aquaria, and vessel collisions.
