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.
