Dolphins are highly intelligent marine mammals that belong to the family Delphinidae, which includes about 90 species. They are known for their sleek bodies, streamlined shape, and remarkable abilities.
Dolphins have a fusiform (torpedo-shaped) body, a dorsal fin on their back, and a long snout called a rostrum. They have smooth skin, and their coloration varies among species, ranging from shades of gray to white, black, or even pink.
Dolphins are well-adapted to their marine environment. They have a blowhole on the top of their heads, which they use to breathe air at the water's surface. Their forelimbs have evolved into flippers, while their hind limbs are absent. This streamlined body design allows them to swim quickly and maneuver gracefully in the water.
Dolphins are highly intelligent creatures. They have complex social structures and exhibit advanced social behaviors. They communicate using a combination of clicks, whistles, body movements, and postures. They can also use echolocation, a process where they emit sounds and interpret the echoes to navigate and locate prey.
Dolphins are found in oceans and seas worldwide, ranging from coastal regions to open waters. They inhabit both warm and cold waters, depending on the species. Some well-known species include the common dolphin, bottlenose dolphin, orca (also known as killer whale), and the spinner dolphin.
