Dolphin Communication

• Dolphins communicate with some whistles to
  identify themselves. Unlike humans, dolphins miss
  vocal cords, but they use a system of squeaks,
  whistles, moans, thrills and clicks that are
  generated by sphincter muscles within the blow
  hole.While using echolocation, they send off
  frequencies by clicking sounds that bounce off
  objects which make the returning sound waves pick
  up the dolphins forehead and lower jaw annotate
  distance, size and the shape of an object.

  In this family, most forms have functional teeth
  in both
  of
  their jaws, smooth sloping
  
  foreheads, a melon with a
  dissimilar
  
  beak, a single notch in the
  middle of
  their
  flukes and a dorsal fin.From the
  
  26 species of dolphins,13 have
  long
  beaks and
  streamlined, robust bodies.
  
  The rest of the species vary in colors,
  
  patterns, shapes beaks,
  flippers, and
  
  dorsal fins. Although, most have similar
  
  indistinct beaks and fairly robust bodies.

The Delphinoidea Family PoemDolphins

• Pushing through green waters
• Symbol of joy
• You leap from the depths
• To touch the sky
• Scattering spray
• Like handfuls of jewels
• Not caged by union rules
• Unfettered by sales targets
• No trains or planes to catch
• Your time is set by the flow
• Of the seas tides
• And the moons glow
• You give us images of ecstasy
• That we lock away
• Behind the doors of memory
• For quiet moments
• When released from our possessions
• We dream of a freedom like yours
•
