Food
 Dolphins eat mostly fish but, some eat shrimp and
squid, too.
 River Dolphins will eat small shellfish and turtles.
 Many dolphin species hunt in groups, following herds
of fish.
Types of Dolphins
 There are five species of river dolphins, three of them
live only in rivers.
 All of them are less than 10 feet long and weigh less
than 400 pounds.
 There are 33 species of dolphins that live in the seas
and oceans.
Habitat
 Most dolphin species live in salt water in the tropical
or temperate zones.
 Some stay close to coastlines. However, others live far
out in the ocean.
 Some dolphin species migrate throughout these
premises.
 Some species of dolphins live in rivers, not salt water.
Behavior
 All dolphin species behaves differently around each
other. Some dolphins live together in groups of 100 or
more, but, others swim with only five of ten
companions or members of their family.
Lifespans
 Small dolphins only live about 15 years.
 Orcas however sometimes live to be 80 to 90 years old.
“Special Features”
 Big brains and different ways of communication are
dolphins specialties. Dolphins use tons of noises to
communicate, that includes whistles, squeaks, chirps,
and clicks.
Biggest Threats
 Several dolphin species are in danger. The Yangize
River dolphin may soon be extinct. Fishing nets trap
and kill thousands of dolphins every year. And as
growing human population seek to catch more fish,
there are fewer left for the dolphins.
