The Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphin is occasionally sighted in the far eastern Pacific off Mexico and Central America, representing a range extension for this primarily Asian coastal species. It is recognized by a distinctive hump beneath its dorsal fin, more pronounced in adults, and ranges from pale pink to gray in coloration depending on age and region. Coastal development and boat traffic threaten its inshore habitat.
