No, they do not! In fact the gallbladder is noticeably absent in the Order Cetacea as a whole. However the cystic ducts are enlarged which allows dolphins, porpoises and whales to store sufficient bile within it. So dolphins still use bile to emulsify fats, but they do not have a gallbladder.

Yes, dolphins do have gallbladders. The gallbladder is a small organ that assists in the digestion process by storing and releasing bile, which helps in breaking down fats in the diet.
