“Just because you’re hurt doesn’t mean you’re broken”. This quote is from the movie Dolphin Tale because I thought it was the perfect example for my research paper. Dolphin tale is about how a real dolphin named Winter was found stranded in Mosquito Lagoon, near Cape Canaveral, Florida when she was only two months old, entangled in a crab trap line which cut circulation to her tail flukes.

There are lesser-known species of dolphins that live in the rivers of the world located in China, South America, India, Pakistan, and Southeast Asia. Some of the larger species of dolphins such as a killer whale may be found living further out (away from the coastline) in deep ocean waters. Dolphins live in all oceans of the planet and even in some rivers. While not all species of dolphins live everywhere, there is a species for each environment. Specifically one of the best
Their food depends on what season it is, for example in the spring and summer there are big juicy salmon for them to eat. In the winter months there is food for them like herring and mackerel. Kinds of dolphins like bottlenose dolphins living somewhere else may feed on more tropical species of fish or tuck into an octopus or squid.

While some dolphins eat fishes like herring, cod or mackerel, some others eat squids or other cephalopods.
