Dolphins are carnivores; they eat other animals. Dolphins eat a variety of fish, squid, shrimps, jellyfish and octopuses. The types of fish and other creatures dolphins eat depends on the species of dolphin, where the dolphins live and the wildlife that shares their habitats. There are more than forty species of dolphin and they live in environments ranging from fresh water rivers, estuaries, coastal waters to deep sea open oceans.
Producers are the base of the food chain and make their own food. Primary consumers eat producers and secondary consumers eat the primary consumers. Tertiary consumers, like dolphins, are an important part of the food chain and keep the other species in balance. There are over 40 species of dolphins, all of which are aquatic mammals. The bottlenose dolphin lives in tropical salt water environments and eats secondary consumers like tuna.
