Facts About Dolphins!
|
Common dolphins are found worldwide
in warm or tropical seas. Dolphins must
come to the surface for air to be able
to breathe. The dolphins breathes
through an opening on top of the head
called a blowhole. This permits the
dolphin to breathe while swimming at
full speed. In their natural state
they are as free-living and untamed
as deer or wolves. There is a belief
that dolphins will save a drowning
person.
