A group of dolphins is commonly referred to as a "pod." Dolphins are highly social animals, often living in family groups that provide social interaction, protection, and cooperative foraging. The size of a pod can vary significantly, ranging from a few individuals to hundreds, depending on the species and environmental factors. In addition to pods, dolphins may form larger aggregations during breeding or feeding. Their social structures are characterized by strong bonds, communication, and even unique behaviors among different pods, showcasing the intelligence and complexity of their social systems in marine environments.
