are marine and live in the ocean or brackish waters along coastlines. There are a few
species, however, like the South Asian river dolphin and the Amazon river dolphin, or boto,
that live in freshwater streams and rivers. The largest dolphin, the orca, can grow to be over
30 feet long. The smallest, the Maui dolphin, is just five feet long.
