Dolphin
Dolphins travel through the
ocean in small groups called
pods. They jump out of the
water 30 feet high and fall
back with a splash! Dolphins
love to play in waves and
have fun!
Dolphins are very smart animals. They can communicate
with each other by clicking and other sounds. Dolphins use
echolocation to find objects underwater. They make a
sound and the sound bounces off objects so the dolphin
knows where things are. They use this to find their food.
Dolphins like to eat small fish and crabs.
Like whales, dolphins are mammals. They give birth to
baby dolphins. Dolphins have to come to the surface for
air and they breathe through a blowhole.
