5 Fun Facts about Dolphin

1.Dolphin are smart

Known for their playful behavior, dolphins are highly intelligent. They are as smart as apes, and the evolution of their larger brains is surprisingly similar to humans.

2,Dolphin does not fully fall asleep

Dolphins have to be conscious to breath.[1] This means that they cannot go into a full deep sleep, because then they would suffocate. Dolphins have "solved" that by letting one half of their brain sleep at a time. This has been determined by doing EEG studies on dolphins.

3.Echolocation

Dolphins have developed the ability to use echolocation, often known as sonar, to help them see better underwater. Scientists believe this ability probably evolved slowly over time.Echolocation allows dolphins to “see" by interpreting the echoes of sound waves that bounce off of objects near them in the water.

4.The smallest dolphin

Maui's dolphin or popoto is the world's rarest and smallest known subspecies of dolphin. They are a subspecies of the Hector's dolphin. Maui's dolphins are only found off the west coast of New Zealand's North Island.
