Dolphins

 |
- Dolphins have several stomachs. That's why scientists think their ancestors grazed on land.
- A baby bottlenose dolphin can whistle the day it's born.
- Each dolphin in a family is somehow assigned a "signature whistle" by which others call it...sort of a name.
- Part of the dolphin's courting ritual is to swim upside-down.
- The true dolphin is a fish, not a mammal. Those Miami football players do not have the true dolphin on their helmets. They ought to be called the Miami Bottlenoses.
- There are pink dolphins with long snouts that live in the Amazon River. Amazon tribespeople hold them in high regard and protect them. Those dolphins eat piranha.
- Moves made by a pair of dolphins are almost identical...without rehearsal. How each knows exactly what to do next remains a mystery. It takes humans months, even years, of practice to synchronize that way!
