Dolphin
Although it looks like a fish, the dolphin is a mammal found in
"schools" in warm water oceans. Dolphins can't breathe in water,
as fish do, but must breathe air. Averaging 7 to 8 feet in length,
a dolphin can reach speeds up to 30 knots while swimming. They
have amazing intelligence and have been taught complicated tricks
in captivity. Dolphins use sounds underwater to communicate.
If a dolphin is injured, it makes a high whistle to call other
dolphins for help. Long considered a friend to sailors, there are
many legends of dolphins saving drowning sailors and leading ships
to safety.
