∙ 8y agoaccording to this website, http://www.dolphins.org/marineed_physiology.php, one way to determine its age is by its teeth. every year, a dolphin lays down a new layer of enamel in its teeth. this causes "rings" to form in the teeth. if you count the rings inside the teeth you will find the age, eg: there are (let's say) three rings of enamel in a tooth, meaning that the dolphin is three years old.
sorry, but to my research, it looks that there is only one way to determine the age
hope this helped

Only do this test if you are a trained expert and the dolphin is dead.
