Pacific white-sided dolphins are very social animals. They swim in groups of up to hundreds, though a typical family unit, or pod, contains about 30 dolphins. They often perform somersaults and other acrobatic moves. The dolphins range from the Aleutian Islands through Alaska to the tip of Baja California, and from Japan to the Kuril Islands in the western Pacific, between latitudes 38N and 47N. White-sided dolphins are not considered endangered.

Characteristics

Adults are about 6 to 8 feet long and weigh 185 to 330 pounds. They have distinctive color patterns of black, gray and white, with a gray or white stripe along the flank. Their beak is short, thick and dark. White-sided dolphins have a well-developed sense of hearing and navigate through echolocation. Their eyes are able to focus in water and air.

Diet

White-sided dolphins consume about 20 pounds of food a day. Their diet consists of octopus, hake, anchovies, squid and sardines. The dolphins do not chew their food, but grip with their teeth and swallow it whole — head first — so the spines of the fish don’t catch in their throats.

Calves

Newborn is 3 feet long and weighs 30-50 pounds. Calves nurse for about a year after birth.

Life span

Believed to live from 36 to 40 years in the wild.

Predators, threats

Killer whales, getting caught in drift nets and gill nets. Some countries harvest them for food.
