There are 32 different dolphin species. There are also two closely related families-the white whales (Monodontidae) and river dolphins (Platanistidae). The most 'familiar' dolphin species is the bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus). Bottlenose dolphins have been the mainstays of oceanariums and TV programs for decades. The largest dolphin species is the Orca, or 'killer whale' (Orcinus orca). Male killer whales can grow up to 9.6 m (31.5 ft). Here is a listing of the dolphin species: order CETACEA (WHALES AND DOLPHINS) suborder ODONTOCETI (TOOTHED WHALES).
Different Types of Dolphins. The Delphinidae are both the largest family of dolphins and the largest family within the order Cetacea. They are commonly referred to as the ocean dolphins even though some still retain the name whale. These types of dolphins do vary hugely in appearance and size and shape. However, many morphological characteristics are common to nearly all the delphinid species. As with other toothed whales, Odontoceti, they have a single blowhole situated at the top of the head just left of center and a dorsal fin midway between the head and flukes.
