Description: | This Dolphin skull shows the long jaws with a formidable array of teeth. There are 80-120 teeth per jaw. Common Dolphins range in size from 1.7m to 2.6m, and weigh between 70kg and 135kg. Common Dolphins prey on schooling fish (e.g. herring, pilchards) and squid. They have been known to adopt co-operative techniques when hunting (rather like the Orca) and have also been observed catching fish in mid-air. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | animals natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
