How tall can dolphins grow?   Dolphins range in size from the small tucuxi dolphin, which grows to about 1.2 m (4 ft) in length and weighs about 50 kg (110 lb), to the orca, which can grow to 9.8 m (â¦32 ft) in length and weigh over 5,500 kg (12,100 lb). In most dolphins males grow slightly larger than females.
Bottlenose dolphins vary in size throughout their range, reaching lengths from 8-12ft and weighing as much as 1400lbs. Males are larger than females. They are gray in color, with a whitish underbelly. Unlike most oceanic dolphins species, five of the seven neck vertebra of the bottlenose dolphin are not fused.
