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.
2 species of river are critically endangered the baiji has been listed as extinct very recently because none have been found for many years. The other river dolphin the Indus river dolphin is also in decline.
