Funny Fact of the day/week/month/whenever I can find a funny fact #2

Did you know that according to the laws of physics dolphins shouldn't be able to swim as fast as they can? This has many scientists stumped, but they think that maybe it has something to do with the fact that Dolphins are constantly shedding skin... if you were to touch one, you would see a bit of it on your hand, a little gross, yes, but I still love those deep sea mammals.

Oh, btw, dolphins aren't the only outlaws when it comes to physics, bees shouldn't be able to fly!

A Dolphin-ee Book

I just read a book (scroll up) that had a lot to do with dolphins; I'm not sure if all of it is true that it said in the book (in fact, I'm pretty skeptical, but who knows?), but I just thought I might mention it on this blog. The book's name is "A Ring Of Endless Light". It's the last* book in a series by Madeline L'Engel, and the preceding stories are: "The Arm Of The Starfish" (which was really good) "The Moon By Night" (which was very enjoyable), "The Young Unicorns" (which was really good too, but had no unicorns) and the final book is the 'dolphin-ee' one, "A Ring Of Endless Light". If you'd like to see my full review, come to my Book Blog.

Thanks!

One Of Earths Most Inteligent Animals

Dolphins are one of earths most intelligent animals, they have been known to use ultrasonic sound for echolocation. Membership in their pods (see post "Interacting" and read about schools and pods) is not rigid; interchange is common. However, the cetaceans can establish strong bonds with each other, this leads to them staying with injured and ill individuals.
