Dolphins live in groups called pods, and they use a sonar-like system called echolocation to navigate and find food. Although they are marine mammals, dolphins are able to hold their breath for long periods of time and can even swim to the surface to take a breathe.

Dolphins are some of the smartest animals in the animal kingdom. They are known to use tools, communicate with one another, and even show signs of self-awareness. Because of their high intelligence, dolphins are also one of the easiest animals to train. They can learn a variety of tricks, behaviors, and commands. dolphins are often used in therapy and assistance programs, as their friendly nature and playful demeanor can bring joy to people of all ages.

As we learn more about dolphins, we are able to better protect them and their habitat. By understanding their behavior and needs, we can create environments that are conducive to their survival.
