Dolphin

Dolphins are highly intelligent marine mammals belonging to the family of Delphinidae. They are known for their playful behavior, acrobatic abilities, and high-pitched vocalizations called whistles. Dolphins are found in oceans and rivers all around the world and are known to be social creatures that often swim in groups called pods.

Dolphins are carnivores and feed on a variety of fish, squid, and crustaceans. They have streamlined bodies, which allow them to swim quickly and efficiently through the water. They also have a blowhole on the top of their head, which they use to breathe air at the surface.

Dolphins are often trained for entertainment purposes in theme parks and aquariums, but they are also used in scientific research to study their behavior, communication, and intelligence. However, dolphins are also threatened by various human activities such as hunting, pollution, and fishing, which have led to a decline in their populations in some areas.
