• Dolphins are sea mammals.
• Even though not fish, they can swim like one!
• Dolphins can reach up to 30mph which is a common speed for a car.
• When dolphins are catching fish to eat, they use there super swimming skills to round up the fish and swallow them whole!
• The reason why dolphins swallow fish head first it that if they eat the fish spine first, the spine will go in harder and it might hurt the dolphins.
• When foraging on their own, dolphins use their clicking noises to sense where the fish is and where to look for the fish. When they know where the prey is, they use a sea sponge to protect their noses from sharp rocks and sea urchins.
• If a dolphin eats something to make them feel sick, they use a signature whistle, which is unique, and the other dolphins recognise the dolphin that is in trouble. When the other dolphins fine the sick dolphin, the form a raft and lift up there sick friend to breath at the surface of the water.

Dolphins are dazzling creatures so we can’t let them go extinct!
