Interacting

Did you know that Dolphins are mammals? They have a blow hole (like whales) that they breath through. They also have children like us, their babies finish developing in the womb instead of an egg.

And the Dolphins are human freindly, they interact playfully with us in the water.

They are very social. And live in groups called schools or pods.

Funny Fact

Now here's our funny fact of the day/week/whenever we can find a funny fact: Dolphin males are called bulls, their babies are called calves and their females are called--you won't believe this--cows! Now how are we going to milk that? (not that I drink milk)

A Million Names

The word 'Dolphin' originated from some of these Greek and Latin words.


The first Greek word was Delphys (which means 'womb') after this came Delphis (which means 'fish with a womb').

Doifinus was the first word for dolphin in Latin, then came Delphinus.

Daulphin is the french word for our second favorite mammal, it isn't really what 'dolphin' came from, but I thought I might as well add this with the rest.

Interesting Facts: Did you know that Killer Whales are actually a type of dolphin?! And that Dolphins actually comunicate with each other with clicks and other vocalizations?!

The Basic Info

This blog I made because I love dolphins and there are a few things I know about them that I thought I should tell you. Like did you know that dolphins can drive away sharks? (I don't now how, but it's a fact) And dolphins may even want to help the helpless!
