Dolphins are mammals and breathe air into their lungs, just like we do.Dolphins cannot breathe under water like fish can as they do not have gills.Dolphins breathe through a nostril, called a blowhole, located right on top of their heads.
Unlike fish these marine mammals are not equipped with gills, which fish and other aquatic animals use to extract oxygen from water; Instead whales need to rise to the surface of the water to inhale and exhale oxygen through their blowholes.
