Short-beaked saddleback dolphins are found in tropical and temperate ocean waters and in some seas. School of fewer than ten - and of several thousand - have been reported. They eat both squid and fish. Calves, which are less than a meter long at birth, are usually born in the spring and summer after a gestation that is thought to last 10-11 months. In most members of the family Delphinidae - the dolphins - calves begin to eat solid food at about 4-6 months, but may continue to nurse as long as two years. The Delphinidae is a very large and diverse family of cetaceans, however, and much remains to be learned about the life styles of its members.
