    The animals in this photo are dolphins .One is de mother the other is the baby dolphin.Dolphins are mammals in the order cetacea and they part of the toothed whales.


  • They are carnivorous. They are excellent swimming.






  • Most live in salt water oceans, but some live in rivers. There are oceanic dolphins and river dolphins. Dolphins are from 1,5 to 4 metres long.The name "dolphin"comes from the Ancient Greek meaning "with a womb", because it was first thought to be a fish with a womb. 

  • However, it is very firm, due to how much muscle they have. Dolphins use echolocation to find their food.  It is now known to be a mammal, and quite an intelligent mammal. Dolphins breathe air.A dolphin's nose is on top of its head so the dolphin can easily breathe on the surface of the water.
