Young dolphins form strong
bonds with their moms, staying
with them for three to five years.
They begin to catch their own
fish after 6 months, but normally
continue to nurse. Mothers do
not share their fish.

Dolphins eat between 10 to 30
pounds of fish daily...and not
particular as to what kind of fish.
Moms with calves eat 50% more
because of nursing. Given they
have cone shaped teeth, they
normally swallow fish whole.

Calves (age 6 months and up)
and sub-adults (ages 5 to 11) are
very active, social and playful.
Calves are often observed leaping
playfully with their moms. Sub-
adults often leap together in
play and socially.
