The Amazing Dolphin

The bottlenose dolphin is an amazing animal. There is much about it that you might not know. For example, Bottlenose dolphins send messages to one another in different ways. They squeak and whistle and use body language—leaping as high as 20 feet (6 meters) in the air, snapping their jaws, slapping their tails on the surface of the water, and even butting heads.

I love all kinds of dolphins really. There is something about dolphins that people just love. Some dolphins even cure some sick people. If someone has a problem moving their arm or leg, some specialists decide that swimming with the dolphins is the best way to cure the patient. Many miracles have taken place over time. There have been people who could never walk, run through steep hills. Dolphins also improve a person’s confidence. They can do a lot of things!

Bottlenose dolphins may look like fish but they are mammals. They breathe air, just like you do. It might be surprising to some people, but it is true. Dolphins have to come up for air every once in a while. They can hold their breath for a whole lot longer than you can though.
