The Marvelous World of Dolphins
Dolphins are some of the most intelligent and delightful creatures of the ocean. Belonging to the family Delphinidae, these marine mammals are known for their agility, playfulness, and social nature. With over 40 species, dolphins can be found in seas and oceans around the world.
Here are some dolphin fun facts:
- Dolphins can leap up to 15 feet in the air!
- They use echolocation to find food and navigate the sea.
- Their clicks and whistles allow them to communicate over long distances.
Many species are found in coastal areas, while others prefer deeper waters. Some, like the Amazon River dolphin, live in freshwater. Dolphins have been known to display altruistic behavior towards humans and other species, furthering their reputation as gentle ocean guardians.
