Dolphins are aquatic mammals which are closely related to whales and porpoises. There are almost forty species of dolphin in seventeen genera. They vary in size from 1.2 metres (4 ft) and 40 kilograms (88 lb) (Maui's Dolphin), up to 9.5 m (30 ft) and ten tonnes (the Orca). They are found worldwide, mostly in the shallower seas of the continental shelves, and are carnivores, mostly eating fish and squid. The family Delphinidae is the largest in the Cetacea.

A dolphin is a sea mammal, closely related to both whales and porpoises. Though the dolphin is most often thought of as living at sea, there are also river varieties. Most are familiar with the Bottlenose, frequently seen in aquatic park dolphin shows. This is only one of forty known species, including the Killer Whale, which though called a whale, actually belongs to the Delphinidae family. While killer whales are quite large, up to 30 feet (9.14 m) long, many dolphin species are considerably smaller, averaging about 8 feet (2.44 m) long. The smallest dolphin, the Maui’s Dolphin, is only 4 feet (1.22 m) long and weighs less than most adult humans.
