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.
