What time of year are baby dolphins born?

The time of year that baby dolphins are born varies depending on the species and the location. For example, bottlenose dolphins in the Atlantic Ocean typically give birth in the summer months, while those in the Pacific Ocean may give birth year-round. Common dolphins in the eastern North Atlantic give birth in summer and autumn.

Gestation periods for dolphins also vary by species, but they typically range from 10 to 18 months. So, if you know when a particular dolphin species typically gives birth, you can calculate when the babies are likely to be born by adding the gestation period to the birth season.
