Do dolphins live in pack or do they live alone?

Answer 1

Answer 1: I believe they go in groups of 3-6 .

Answer 2: Dolphins sometimes, but rarely, live alone. They mostly live in groups of from ten to 30 animals; and such groups are called "pods," just as with whales.

Dolphins, then, travel and live in pods, not packs. Wolves live and travel in packs. Dolphins live and travel in pods.

A pod can, though rarely, be very small... only a pair, sometimes. And in some -- also rare -- cases, a single pod can consist of thousands (certainly hundreds) of animals. And, yes, they sometimes travel and live alone.

If a dolphin is traveling/living alone, and not in a pod, it's usually for a reason. S/he may be ill; or s/he may have done something which no other animal in the pod could tolerate. There may have been some kind of fight for dominance, and s/he lost; then the group rejected him/her (though that rarely happens). S/he may also have been in captivity once, and then released to the wild (usually after some training in how to fend for himself/herself).

That last possibility is the most sad; and, in fact, most once-in-captivity animals are best moved to research facilities such as a very famous one in The Florida Keys where they may be studied (but without harming them), and they may live in real sea water in a contained area that's actually in the ocean; and where they are routinely interacted with by humans, but not forced to perform or anything like that.

Dolphins are extraordinarily intelligent animals; some researchers believe that if they had human language, we'd realize that they're likely as smart as humans. They're extremely social, and caring of other pod members. Even wild dolphins seem to just intuitively understand when the humans with whom they come into contact have ultimately good intentions (though they, like humans, sometimes get fooled... which is the human's fault, not the dolphin's); and they have even been known to protect humans who are floating out in the ocean (after their boat capsized or something, and who need rescuing), from sharks... ramming the sharks with their heads, hoping to rupture one of the Shark's internal organs and disable or even kill it. Wild dolphins are frequently seen traveling alongside large boats as the move through the water, swimming in the bow's wake at incredible speeds, obviously enjoying themselves, no end; and humans skin- and Scuba-divers are often able to swim with them even in the wild, with no fear. They're very peaceful and gentle... quite remarkable animals.

Answer 2

Dolphins do live in a group....they are called pods......they vary from 1-500

Answer 3

They usually swim together in a small group called a team, school, pod or herd.

Answer 4

Dolphin live in groups and will hunt with each other and defend each other

Answer 5

Bottlenose dolphins live in groups of up to 15 other dolphins. These groups are called 'pods.'
