Dolphins are animals that live in the water, and they are also carnivores. Their main food is some small fish, shrimp, crab, squid and so on in the water. It can be seen that dolphins can eat more food. Among these kinds of food, one of the most popular types of dolphins is squid, which is often referred to as squid. In addition, small fish are also the food that dolphins often prey on, specifically, there are many kinds. Because of the large size of dolphins, some medium and large fish may also become food for dolphins.
Dolphin's mouth is generally relatively sharp, it has many teeth in the mouth, the upper jaw and lower jaw teeth combined number may be about 100. These teeth are sharper and thinner, allowing them to break up food.
Generally speaking, dolphins are relatively large in size, and they consume more energy every day, so their appetite is also relatively large. Specifically, dolphins eat between 4% and 8% of their body weight every day, not necessarily. That is to say, the specific amount of food eaten by dolphins has a great relationship with their weight. Young dolphins eat relatively little, while adult dolphins eat more. For example, for a dolphin weighing about 200 kilograms, their daily food intake will generally be between 8-16 kilograms. It depends on the number of prey in the water and the specific preferences of dolphins.
