		Atlantic white-sided dolphins are born weighing 30 - 35 kg (65 - 75 lb).
		Atlantic white-sided dolphins are highly social animals, and like to swim in the company of other whales, dolphins and porpoises, such as white-beaked dolphins, humpback whales, fin whales and long-finned pilot whales.

		Cetaceans are nearly hairless, and are insulated by a thick layer of blubber.
		There are many misconceptions about cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises), the most common of which is the idea that cetaceans are fish.
		This means that cetaceans with pointed 'beaks' (such as dolphins) have good binocular vision forward and downward, but others with blunt heads (such as the Sperm Whale) can see either side but not directly ahead or directly behind.

		Preliminary evidence also suggest that North Atlantic right whale populations have dropped to the point where they have lost some genetic diversity, and inbreeding may also be a problem in their recovery.
		Atlantic white-sided dolphins, like all dolphins, feed on single prey items, so they are less likely to feed on the large numbers of small fish that the whales usually feed on.
		Today the primary threats to Atlantic white-sided dolphins are from pollutants (all dolphin species seem to build up unusually high pesticide loads), and entanglement in fixed fishing gear, which is often fatal to the dolphin.
