They seldom venture into the Arctic.Ĭommon dolphins are fond of coastal waters, but are also found well out to sea.
In addition, scattered populations have been found in the Indian Ocean and waters near Japan. At times, these dolphins follow the Gulf Stream up to Norwegian waters. They are abundant in the Mediterranean Sea, as well as in the Black Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Red Sea. Common dolphins can be found throughout the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
