Baby dolphins, also known as calves, are born at a considerable size, typically measuring between 43 and 53 inches long (approximately 3.5 to 4.4 feet). They weigh between 22 and 44 pounds.
Here's a breakdown of typical baby dolphin size:
- Length: 43-53 inches (109-135 cm or roughly 3.5 - 4.4 feet)
- Weight: 22-44 pounds (10-20 kg)
These measurements can vary slightly depending on the species of dolphin. Bottlenose dolphins, one of the most well-known species, generally fall within this range.
