Dolphins Kids Facts
"There are a few
interesting dolphins kids
facts..."
* Whales and dolphins are not fish.
* They are mammals that live in the water.
* While fish breathe with gills and lay eggs, whales breathe with lungs and give birth to live young that suckle milk.
* They have small eyes, large mouths and blowholes on the top of their head.
* Their arms are called flippers and their tail fins are called flukes.
* They have got no back legs.
* Dolphins often live in pods. These can be small, consisting of a few animals, or large, consisting of thousands of animals.
* Dolphins are meat eaters and they eat fish and squid.
* Dolphins love to jump out of the water and play.
* They also like to surf on the waves made by boats and large whales.
* They "have names" - whistle calls that are unique to each individual. So they can recognise other pod members individually.
* They have many other sounds and a complex communication system.
* They are very smart animals and can learn clever tricks, and solve simple problems.
