1. Some dolphins live in salt water, and some live in fresh water.
2. Dolphins can't breathe underwater. Blowholes located in they're heads open and close, allowing the dolphins to breathe. Just like humans, they have to come to the water's surface to breathe.
3. Bottlenose dolphins send messages to each other in different ways. They squeak and whistle and use body language; leaping as high as 20 feet (6 meters) in the air, snapping they're jaws, slapping they're tails on the surface of the water, and even butting they're heads.
4. Each individual dolphin has it's own signature whistle.
5. Bottlenose dolphins are called bottlenose dolphins because they're beaks are shaped like bottles.
For more facts about dolphins, go to nationalgeographic.com and search "dolphin facts".
All five of these facts are from National Geographic. The photos below I found on Google Images. Well, except for this dolphin on the pillow below, which is my own photo and my own (plastic) dolphin. I put her on the pillow to take the photo because I haven't gotten a dresser yet.
