About Dolphin

Dolphins have the second-largest brain-to-body ratio among animals, after humans. They can recognize themselves in mirrors, use tools, solve complex puzzles, and even teach learned behaviors to other dolphins, demonstrating self-awareness and cultural transmission.
How do dolphins breathe if they live in water?
Dolphins are mammals that breathe air through a blowhole on top of their heads. They must surface every 8-12 minutes to breathe, and incredibly, they sleep with half their brain awake to remember to surface for air.
What do dolphins eat in the wild?
Dolphins are carnivores that primarily eat fish, squid, and shrimp. They hunt cooperatively, sometimes creating mud rings to trap fish or working together to drive schools of fish toward shore where they're easier to catch.

Dolphins can swim up to 35 miles per hour in short bursts, making them one of the fastest marine animals. Their streamlined bodies and powerful tail flukes allow them to leap up to 20 feet out of the water.
How do dolphins communicate with each other?
Dolphins use a complex system of clicks, whistles, and body language to communicate. Each dolphin has a unique whistle signature, like a name, that other dolphins can recognize and even imitate to get their attention.
