DOLPHINS

Dynamic Dolphins

Dolphins are mammals that live in oceans all over the world. They often live in big groups. They are some of the most intelligent animals in the sea kingdom. Most dolphins are gray, black or brown above and pale below.


Home Sweet Home

Dolphins usually live in warm parts of seas, oceans and rivers. The common dolphin and the bottlenose dolphins live in the seas and inhabit rivers. Some dolphins like the Mahi-mahi and Dorado live mainly in fresh waters in South America and Asia.


Friendly Families

Dolphins stay together in schools (groups). They hunt in schools too. They hunt for common fishes like mackerel. They use sonar (send sound and bounce back from prey to know how far they are and were) to hunt. They play together too! And do you know that they can communicate?


Behavior

It has been said that dolphins can save your life! There were some incidents of drowning, where dolphins saved the people and when one of the dolphins is a trap or ill, they will help it.


Protection of Porpoises

Rumors said that dolphins have healing abilities. Wonder if that is true?! Do not catch a dolphin. It is bad and it is illegal. That is the same as pollution. Remember, dolphins are lifesavers and they are our friends.
