Discover Fun Facts About Dolphins with Your Child
While coloring, try quizzing your child or telling them these interesting facts. They will surely be surprised and delighted!
- Dolphins are mammals: Although they live underwater, dolphins are not fish. They breathe with lungs and must surface to get air.
- They sleep with half a brain: To be able to rest while remaining vigilant for danger and not forgetting to… breathe, dolphins only let one half of their brain sleep at a time. The other half stays awake to control the body!
- Each dolphin has its own ‘name’: They create distinctive whistles to call each other, just like we call each other by name.
- Highly intelligent and emotional: Dolphins have the ability to learn, solve problems, and express complex emotions like joy, sadness, and even help other species in distress.
