Dolphins, by Essie



Dolphins
by Essie

        
Dolphins have interesting features. Dolphins are smaller whales and have 100 sharp teeth.Their back fins are called flukes. They are smarter than other animals. They are gray and have little pieces of hair. They have a blow hole to breath air. They have to come up to the surface to breath out of the blow hole.


        They live in many oceans. When they sleep they keep one eye open and one eye closed. They  live in the Atlantic Ocean. Dolphins live off the coast of Jekyll Island.


They behave in different ways.They hunt for food in groups. They can jump 20 feet in the air! Dolphins can communicate with other dolphins. They have a good relationship with humans. They are calm and playful. People can sometimes  see dolphins jump out of the waves. Have you seen them in the waves?


Dolphins have a weird diet. Bottlenose dolphins eat squid and fish.
They do not eat plants. Dolphins eat meat.

        Dolphins have many predators. Tiger sharks, bull sharks, and dusk sharks kill dolphins. Some people catch dolphins in their nets.
