It may be hard to believe but there are approximately 36 different species of dolphins. There are 32 marine dolphins which live in oceans and salt water habitats and there are 4 river dolphins. If you add in the 6 porpoise species then there are 42 species. Some species of dolphins are bottlenose, white beaked, black, dusky, and Atlantic white-sided.
Pacific white-sided dolphins have a dark gray or black back, white belly and a distinctive white or gray stripe on both sides. This contrast is called counter shading, this allows it to blend in with the ocean and protects it from predators from above, and the white undersides camouflages it when viewed from below against light from the sky.Pacific white-sided dolphins are among the fastest and most acrobatic of all dolphin species. They can swim up to 25 miles per hour.
Killer whales eat white sided dolphins as well as sharks. Humans are an enemy of dolphins
