Food Web Of A Dolphin

Hector Dolphin

Draw

A hector dolphin doesn't feed on a broad variety of food this is due to limited depth they can travel. Hector dolphin commonly feed on pocket-sized fish but they have also been known to eat squid and mollusks. Even though Hector Dolphins deaths aren't ordinarily caused past predators there are still a few Hector Dolphins killed by predators. The principal predators are the sevengill and blueish sharks.Although humans also consume fish which as I have mentioned is one of the master nutrient for the Hector Dolphins. Since I am already creating a food web I should mention that fish tin either swallow other smaller fish while others are lesser feeders who may feed on plankton, insects etc.

Here is a Food Spider web it sorry for non including all of the animals.

The predators that feed on the Hector Dolphin do not only feed on them. In fact for one of these predators to consume a Hector Dolphin is so rare that if the Hector dolphin were to die off then it would have no major effect. Also if the Hector Dolphin was extinct it would have no major effect on its prey. The food the Hector Dolphin feeds on is commonly consumed by other animals that it would yet stay around the same population
