How long do dolphins live

Dolphins are marine animals that are related to whales and porpoises and other marine mammals. There are more than thirty different species of dolphin. The smallest of these species can be no more than four feet long and weigh less than one hundred pounds. The largest of these dolphins is more than forty feet in length and weighs more than ten tonnes. Dolphins are found in all the world's oceans, but are most often found in shallower waters, like those near and on the continental shelves. This is because the food that dolphins eat, squid and fish, is mostly found in these shallow areas.
Interestingly enough the answer to the question "How long do dolphins live?" varies depending on the species you are talking about and the conditions that the dolphin lives in. In general, how long dolphins do live is usually between seventeen to twenty five years. There does not seem to be any true difference between how long do dolphins live in captivity and how long do dolphins live in the wild. The longest a dolphin has been known to live is a little more than fifty years. However, no scientist has yet to find a correlation between how long a dolphin lives and its general life conditions.
How long do dolphins live depends on the species of dolphin as well. Some species of dolphin has been known to live less than the generic seventeen years, while others are known to live long past the fifty years that is so unique. For this reason, how long do dolphins live depends on many factors, some of which scientists do not even know yet. Thus, there is no simple answer to the question, "How long do dolphins live?"
However, if you are interested in more detailed answers to the question, "How long do dolphins live?" then you should do specific research of every species of dolphin that you are interested in. By researching specific species of dolphin, you will be able to get a more informed answer to the question, "How long do dolphins live?" A good place to start your research on how long do dolphins live is the Internet. There you will be able to find valid information on every species of dolphin you can think of and some you have not even heard of. However, remember that some Internet resources are not trustworthy so make sure to take all information you find online with a grain of salt unless you can make sure that it is a respectable site. Such respectable sites include online encyclopedias and news sites.
