These dolphins are common throughout the Maritime Provinces. They are very fast, very agile, swimmers and are sometimes called 'jumpers' because of their constant jumping and leaping out of the water. White-sided dolphins travel in large pods, sometimes 50 or more, and are often seen with humpback, pilot and minke whales. They can measure up to 8 feet in length and love squid, herring, hake and smelt.
