There are between 36 & 40 species of #dolphin swimming on Earth depending on how you categorize certain subspecies. Maui’s dolphins are the smallest coming in at an average of 50kg & 1.7m & Killer Whales are the largest at 6 tons & 9.5m ⠀ 🎨: @green_humour⠀ #dolphinawarenessmonth #whaletales #dolphins #dolphinsareawesome #dolphinmonth #dolphinlove #dolphinsofinstagram #dolphinwatching #getonaboat #dolphinstory #dolphinblog #dolphinlove https://www.instagram.com/p/CMX7kCvBThj/?igshid=1lhgoc4zu3z18

It's the last #funfactfriday of #dolphinawarenessmonth! Did you know that Commerson's Dolphins are among the smallest of all cetaceans? They grow 3.9 to 5.8 ft (1.1 to 1.8 m) in length, and 77 - 190 lbs (35 to 86 kg) in weight and prefer to spend time near to the shore. Unfortunately this means that fishing is a major threat for them and they are easily caught in gillnets fixed to the sea floor, or midwater trawl fisheries along the coast. #whaletales #dolphins #dolphinawarenessmonth #commersonsdolphins #dolphinsareawesome #funfact #trivia #didyouknow #getonaboat #dolphinwatching #whalewatching #ilovedolphins #dolphinlove #dolphinmonth #talesofsavingwhales https://www.instagram.com/p/CM5TndUlD2G/?igshid=aw3t159f0byi

#dolphinawarenessmonth is almost over: #DYK that you can find at least one species of dolphin in every salt water body on Earth as well as a few fresh water rivers systems! Though some do live in cold water the majority of dolphin species tend to frequent warmer and more tropical areas.⠀ 🎨: @peppermintnarwhal⠀⠀ #dolphins #dolphinsareawesome #dolphinmonth #dolphinlove #dolphinsofinstagram #dolphinwatching #getonaboat #whaletales #storytelling #trivia https://www.instagram.com/p/CM-PeY8guLD/?igshid=jd97fky7tj9w

A common question that people like to ask about dolphins is, “Why do they jump?” The truth is that scientists don’t have just one answer. Likely dolphins leap and breach for a combination of reasons including social communication, increased speed when traveling, hunting strategies, surveying their environment, and to help remove parasites from their skin. That said, it could also be “just because they can!”⠀ #dolphinawarenessmonth #trivia #whaletales #dolphins #didyouknow #funfact #dolphinsareawesome #dolphinlove #cetaceans #dyk #dolphinmonth https://www.instagram.com/p/CMkgpGPphrV/?igshid=1vfmcp4s6ze8j
