Dolphins range in size from the 1.7 metres (5.6 ft) long and 50 kilograms (110 lb) Maui's dolphin to the 9.5 metres (31 ft) and 10 metric tons (11 short tons) killer whale. Several species exhibit sexual dimorphism, in that the males are larger than females.
There are almost forty different species of dolphins with the killer whale being the largest. The bottlenose dolphin is the species of Flipper fame that we are most familiar with, and the species that is regularly referred to as simply dolphin. The term dolphin is not synonymous with porpoise. Porpoises are six species within the dolphin family differentiated by their flat teeth. So, simply put, all porpoises are dolphins, but not all dolphins are porpoises. The bottlenose is not a porpoise. Dolphins live in groups of 5 to 15 individuals called pods.
