The biggest dolphin is the orca. Even though it is sometimes called a killer whale, it is in fact a member of the dolphin family. Pilot whales are also dolphins! In terms of length, the New Zealand dolphin and the vaquita (a species of porpoise) are probably the smallest at about 1.4 metres.

These dolphins can be over 31 feet long when fully grown, a size which has provided them with the colloquial name of whales although they are dolphins.
