When they get into the notion
They jump out of the ocean
With tail fluke locomotion,
The Dolphin family
Swim in the sea, eee eee
Swim in the sea, eee eee
Swim in the sea
Live in a pod
Swim in the sea, eee eee
I bet you didn't suppose
Their blow hole was their nose
And in and out the air goes
The Dolphin family
Swim in the sea, eee eee
Swim in the sea, eee eee
Swim in the sea,
Live in a pod
Swim in the sea, eee eee

Dolphin Facts
Dolphins use a variety of sounds to communicate with each other including whistles, click and other noises. 

Dolphins do have excellent hearing and eyesight.


Dolphins swim in the water but they are air breathers just like humans. They need to resurface and use a blowhole at the top of their head for breathing purposes.

Dolphins use echolocation to find the exact location and distance of objects, including their food. Echolocation bounces off of the object and they can measure the distance by the amount of time it takes to bounce back or return to them.
