Dolphins are mammals. Most live in oceans, where water is
salty. But some live in rivers – there are oceanic dolphins and
river dolphins. Dolphins are usually from 1.5 metres to 4 metres
long. Dolphins breathe air. A dolphin's nose is on top of its head
so the dolphin can easily breathe on the surface of the water.
The skin of a dolphin is soft and smooth. Dolphins do not sleep
in a normal way. They have two sides of their brain, which they
use to sleep. One side sleeps, while the other side does not
sleep. They keep one eye open to watch for enemies while they
sleep. Dolphins also swim in circles when they are sleeping with
one of the eyes open to watch out for danger.
Dolphins are the friendliest animals in the sea and there are
a lot of stories about dolphins which help sailors. Dolphins are
clever animals. They look after other dolphins when they are ill,
care for very young dolphins and protect the weakest dolphins.
Some scientists think that dolphins have a language, other
scientists believe that dolphins communicate with each other
without words.
