6. BEHAVIOR
They eat between six and fifteen
kg. of food per day. They swallow
their food whole even though they
have so many teeth. When bottlenose
dolphins are red to eat, they send
out a scout to find the food.
When dolphins are looking for a mate,
it’s usually the female who looks for
the male.

7. Fin shape: a dolphin’s tail goes up and down to help it dive up to get air.
Dolphins have blubber, or fat, wich provides insulation, helping the dolphin
stay warm in cold water.
The long nose helps the dolphin to kill sharks.
Their colors are different so the dolphin can fool his predators.
