• Have you ever heard of a mammal called a
  dolphin? Well, if you havent, Im here to tell
  you a little about them. Dolphins are mammals,
  not fish. They are warm-blooded like people.

• Dolphins are highly sociable animals. They live
  in pods which are barely interactive with other
  pods. From time to time, they will communicate
  with others.

• Dolphins use their powerful tail to swim. A
  dolphins tail moves in an up and down motion.
  They also use their tails when hunting. They hit
  the fish with their tail, fling the fish up in
  the air, stunning it, then scooping the fish up
  when it falls back into the water.

• A dolphin slapping its tail on the water in the
  wild may be a sign of annoyance, or a warning to
  other dolphins of danger. The muscles in a
  dolphins tail are very powerful.

• Dolphins breathe through their blowhole located
  at the top of their head. A dolphin may empty and
  refill its lungs in less than a fifth of a second.

• Dolphins eat fish (including mullet, mackerel,
  herring, cod) and squid. The composition of the
  diet depends very much on what is available in
  the area they live in and also on the season.

• Well, those are just some things about
  dolphins. I hope one day you will research this
  same topic. Or maybe visit a dolphin one day.
