There are different types of dolphins with different adaptations and habitats.Generally Dolphins are sea animals.But there are many types of fresh water dolphins too which have limitted geographical localisation like Gangetic dolphin.
Dolphins can live in both, it depends on their inhabitant.
There are slightly over 30 species of dolphins in the world. Including fresh water dolphins and salt water dolphins.
Yes, dolphins can live in both. The fresh water dolphins are related to the River dolphins. They include Piatanistidae, Ganges and Indus, niidae ( Boto or Amazon ) , Pontoporiida ( Baiji or Franciscana ) But, the only dolphin that can live in both is the Tucuxi ( Sotalia Fluviatilis ) There are may other dolphins that live in salt water though. They include Bottlenose, Spinner, Strpied, and many, many more.
they eat anything a salt water dolphin eats (oter fish, plankton)
You will have some salt and some fresh water.

Whales don't live in fresh water because fresh water is too shallow and lacks the large quantities of prey they require to stay alive. Some dolphins, which are small versions of whales, live in fresh water. Whales have been known to enter rivers, but, rivers do not have enough food to feed whales so they leave fairly soon. During World War 2 a number of rivers in the United State had anti submarine mines at the river mouth where the rivers empty into the ocean. Occasionally a whale would set one off and get blown up. That is how we know whales swim in rivers.
Yes. I work in a marina and have seen them come into the channel and the lake. I have heard that they come inland when the salinity of the water is higher. Where I am the bays and lakes are brackish waters, a mixture of fresh and salt water. When the tide comes in, so do the dolphins in some instances.
This would normally be fresh water, but on some occasions, they can be salt or brackish.
That depends on the species, but their is a dolphin that lives in the amazon river, its called the Pink river dolphin.
River dolphin's
Most dolphins live in salt water. Only a few in comparison live in fresh water. Most of the fresh water dolphin live in the Amazon basin. China had some. They may still have some but many people think they are extinct. A few other rivers have some. A large number live in the oceans. Most Dolphin species live in salt water but there are species that live in rivers such as the Amazon river. Marine Dolphin are also know to travel up estuaries on occasion..
