Atlantic white-sided dolphins are true vagabonds. They never stay long in one place. They live in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean, sometimes in large schools. A school usually contains adults and young. They are often joined by white-beaked dolphins. White-sided dolphins are rapid hunters, preying mostly on squid and small fish.
