Aa

Dolphins are wildly recognizable creatures 

commonly seen in aquariums. 

Bb

This specific species of dolphins have a 

short, stubby beak.

Cc

Dolphins have a curved dorsal fin that allows 

them to swim up to 22 miles per hour. 

Dd

They can dive up to 3,000 feet because of 

their powerful tails. However, their pointed 

flippers also play a part in this. 

Ee

Their eyes are located on the sides of their heads. 

Because of this, they have almost 360 degree 

vision. 

Ff

Most people think that dolphins are fish, 

but that is not true. Dolphins are mammals. 

Gg

Dolphins are very social animals who 

generally swim in groups called pods. 

Although they normally hunt 

independently, they also hunt in pods 

sometimes. 

Hh

Ii

Dolphins use echolocation, which are high 

frequency clicks they let out into the solar 

system. This allows them to process 

information. 

Jj

Dolphins jump for pure fun, to get a 

different perspective of the water for food, 

and for cleanliness.

Kk

Dolphins are known for being kind to 

humans, even wild dolphins usually seek 

out human interaction. 

Ll

Even though dolphins live underwater, 

they need to come up from the water to be 

able to breathe. 

Mm

They have a muscular flap that covers their 

blowhole while underwater and exposes them 

once out of the water.

Nn

Dolphins are not involuntary breathers which 

means, they must come up to the surface 

consciously to take a breath. Because of this, they 

never sleep. 

Oo

One side of the dolphin's brain remains active for 

as long as it lives. This is the part that reminds it 

to breathe. 

Pp

Dolphins like to play within their groups. 

They create bubble rings with the members 

of their pods. 

Qq

Dolphins can swim so quickly because of the 

way they are built. This helps them swim 

away from threats or swim toward prey. 

Rr

As humans we should be respectful 

swimmers, and fishermen by keeping our 

distance from wild dolphins for their safety.
