DOLPHIN The dolphin is a toothed whale that is related to the porpoise. The dolphin has a long, streamlined body; some species have a prominent beaklike snout. The dolphin travels in schools and can swim at a speed of up to 25 mph. After a gestation period of one year, the female gives birth to one young. The young suckles (or nurses) for up to two years. Dolphins are intelligent, playful animals. One of their favorite things is to surf the waves created by boats. They emit a variety of sounds to communicate with other dolphins. Like other toothed whales, they use echolocation (which is like sonar) to avoid obstacles and to locate prey. There are 37 species of dolphins. The best-known North American species are the common dolphin, the bottle-nosed dolphin, and the killer whale. The common dolphin is found mostly in the Mediterranean and the North Atlantic. It is about eight feet long including a six-inch snout. The common dolphin is brownish-black above with dark flippers and snout. Its belly is white in color.

feet long and has a three-inch snout. The bottle-nosed dolphin feeds on fish, squid, and crabs. They can be trained to perform at zoos and aquariums.

There are white patches above the eyes and on the flanks. The killer whale is about 30 feet long with a blunt snout and a long, pointed dorsal fin.
