WWF Dolphins

Shahwar Salahuddin
Interesting Facts…
But did you know that dolphins are
mammals, just like you? This means that
the females give birth to live young,
rather than laying eggs like fish or birds
do, and the young calves feed on milk
made by their mother."
"Also, unlike most other animals that live
in the sea, dolphins do not have gills, and
therefore cannot breathe underwater. So
they must come to the surface every few
minutes to take in lungfuls of fresh air. If
they didn't, they would drown."
"The dolphin family is the biggest group of
cetaceans. In contains 32 different kinds of
species including bottlenose dolphin, dusky
dolphin, and common dolphin. Confusingly,
some whales are actually dolphins too. The
killer whale and pilot whale for instance, are
in fact dolphins! This is because although
they are whale sized, they are more closely
related to dolphins."
Less famous than their marine cousins, river
dolphins are rapidly disappearing - along
with their natural river habitats.
Reflection…
• There are very few people who have heard of
the Blind Dolphins that are found in the Indus
region and the Ganges, in south Asia. Unlike
other dolphins, blind dolphins are found in
rivers and not the sea!
• We all can make a difference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
