It's #FunFactFriday! 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 #commersonsdolphins #dolphins #didyouknow #funfact #trivia #dolphinsareawesome #dophinsofinstagram #dolphinphotography https://www.instagram.com/p/CSPjWPYLLWb/?utm_medium=tumblr
