#dolphinmonth

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
