Dolphins are highly intelligent marine mammals that live in water but breathe through a blowhole on the top of their head. They are remarkable creatures that have developed a form of sonar called echolocation to hunt and prey. They are very friendly and playful.

Below are some interesting facts about dolphins.

  • Dolphins are marine mammals that are closely related to whales and porpoises.
  • Dolphins are part of the family of toothed whales that includes orcas and pilot whales. They are mammals and breathe through a blowhole on the top of their head.
  • There are almost forty species of dolphin, and they are found worldwide, mostly in the shallow waters along the continental shelves. Five species live in the river.
  • Dolphins are carnivores, mostly eating fish and squid. Dolphins live in social groups of five to several hundred. They use echolocation to find prey and often hunt together by surrounding a school of fish, trapping them and taking turns swimming through the school and catching fish.
  • Dolphins will also follow seabirds, other whales and fishing boats to feed on the fish the birds scare to the surface or discard.
  • Dolphins are considered to be amongst the most intelligent of animals. They are friendly and extremely playful. They are also easy to train. These qualities have made them a favourite of many people.
  • Scientists believe that dolphins conserve energy by swimming alongside ships, a practice known as bow-riding.
  • Dolphin vary in colour, but they are generally grey with darker backs than the rest of their bodies.
  • Most dolphin species have a long lifespan. It is estimated that some may have lived for more than 100 years.
  • Dolphins are at risk because the oceans are being polluted. They are also losing their habitats and many countries still allow dolphins to be hunted. Fishing nets also pose a problem for the dolphin population as does the increase in boating traffic.
