What do dolphins eat?
At Dolphins Plus, the dolphins typically eat an assortment of herring, capelin, sardines, silversides, smelt, and mackerel. Sometimes, we feed them live shrimp and live snapper. The dolphins also catch mangrove snapper and grunts in their houses and love to chase glass minnows and shrimp. In the wild, dolphins are opportunistic feeders, and their diet is based on the species available in their home range and include a wide variety of vertebrates and invertebrates. Dolphins do not chew their fish, but may use their teeth to catch and tear fish, typically swallowing fish whole and head-first.
