In case you didn't know:
This dolphin is common.
Little is known about Risso's Dolphin's natural history.
This dolphin eats some fish, but it mainly eats squid.
The older dolphins have a lot of scarring, while the younger dolphins have a more smoother skin.
They occasionally swim alone or in pairs. But they usually form groups of 25 to several hundred.
They are found swimming with Pilot Whales.
Risso's Dolphin will only bow ride for a few seconds.
These dolphins aren't as acrobatic as other dolphins are.
