DOLPHINS Yuh

Dolphins are mammals of the sea.  Their main diet mainly consists of small fish, squid, and crustaceans. They use echolocation to find their prey and when they are in large groups they circle their prey. It is hard to know what the actual number of dolphins in the world is because there are so many different species that live in different places in the world.  Dolphins are also known for their playful behavior and their agility.  Dolphins are known to live with either a small group of other dolphins or they live with over a hundred other dolphins. Dolphins don't have a specific mating season, they mate year round.  They are also the only other mammals that have sex for fun.  Dolphins usually only have one calf, but they can sometimes have twins but it is very rare.
This article showed me some new facts about dolphins.  I didn't know that dolphins used echolocation and that they lived in such large groups.  I found it interesting how this website showed all these cool facts about dolphins.
