Can dolphins talk? Maybe they can’t talk with words, but they can talk using sounds. They can show their feelings through sounds.

    Dolphins travel in groups. We call a group of fish a “school”. They don’t study, but they travel together. Although dolphins live in the ocean all the time, they are not fish, but they swim together in a school. A dolphin is a mammal, which means it gives birth to its baby and feeds its young on milk. Dolphins are warm-blooded and they breathe air through lungs, unlike fish which use gills to breathe. 

    Dolphins not only talk to the other dolphins in the school but also give information and indicate their feelings such as happiness, sadness and fear. Dolphins like talking through sounds while playing with each other.

    They make a few sounds above the water. They make many more sounds under the water. People can not hear these sounds because the sounds are very, very high. Scientists record their sounds and do research on them.

    Some people catch dolphins for aquariums in the zoos or for a show in the pools. When dolphins are away from their school in the ocean, they feel sad and lonely.

    There are many stories about dolphins. Sometimes dolphins help people and save their lives. Although dolphin meat is delicious, people don’t like to kill them. They believe that dolphins bring good luck.
