1. Sharks: Sharks, such as bull sharks (Carcharhinus leucas) and tiger sharks (Galeocerdo cuvier), are known to prey on Chinese white dolphins.
2. Killer whales (Orcas): Killer whales (Orcinus orca) are apex predators that hunt a variety of marine mammals, including Chinese white dolphins.
3. Humans: Unfortunately, Chinese white dolphins face threats from humans, including hunting and bycatch (accidental capture in fishing gear). Habitat destruction and pollution can also indirectly affect their survival and make them more vulnerable to predation.
Understanding the predators and threats faced by Chinese white dolphins is crucial for developing effective conservation and management strategies to protect and preserve this endangered species.
