– For dolphins, breathing is a voluntary act, not a reflex, like it is for humans.
– Dolphins sleep with only half of their brain; and the other half stays awake so they can continue breathing while they rest.
– They can communicate with each other with different sounds, and also use dance and jumps to communicate.
– It’s not diet time; Dolphins eat less in the summer than in the winter because, in the winter they need more calories to survive the colder water temperatures.
– Each dolphin has a different whistle from the rest. Though these animals don’t have vocal chords, they are capable of communicating with sounds produced by the air sacs next to their spiracle.
