Dolphin: The Friendly Ocean Explorer

Have you ever seen a dolphin? These amazing creatures are not just fun to watch, but they are also very smart and full of surprises!

What Makes Dolphins Special?

Dolphins are mammals, just like humans. This means they breathe air, give birth to live babies, and feed them with milk. They live in the ocean and are known for their playful nature. Dolphins can jump up to 6 meters (about 20 feet) in the air! Isn’t that incredible?

How Do Dolphins Talk?

Dolphins have their own way of talking. They use clicks, whistles, and body movements to communicate. They don’t have vocal cords like us, but they make sounds using a special part in their head called the ‘melon.’ This is how they chat with each other and even find food using echolocation, which is like a natural sonar!

Dolphin Families

Dolphins live in groups called pods. A pod can have from 5 to several hundred dolphins! They are very social and often seen playing, hunting, and traveling together. Did you know that dolphins have been known to help other animals and even humans in trouble in the water?

Dolphins Are Clever!

Dolphins are one of the smartest animals in the world. They can learn tricks, solve problems, and even recognize themselves in a mirror. Researchers have found that dolphins have a special way of sleeping where only half of their brain sleeps at a time. This way, they can still swim, breathe, and watch out for danger even while resting!
