Most dolphins usually eat sqids and fish, but orcas also eat seals, penguins, and sometimes other whales. (Orca is also called a killer whale, but it is known as a large dolphin.)

Dolphins will prey upon any fishes that are smaller than they are.

Dolphins are very social creatures and just like humans, depend on each other for various reasons. For example, dolphins will depend on each other to help find food, sometimes working like wolves in order to get their prey, other times they might band together for defense to fight off something like a shark. Furthermore, just like humans, since dolphins are social creatures they need to be around other dolphins so they don't go crazy, just like how some humans can go crazy when they are isolated for extended periods of time.

Dolphins depend on each other because they work best when moving in groups. Some animals work better solo, but dolphins are not like that. They help each other defend against predators, as well as teamwork while hunting.
