These are the flippers of the Dolphin ...the flippers are used for steering as they swim.The flippers contain bones, like those we have in our hands. Dolphins are warm blooded mammels that live in water. The dolphin is related to the whale. Both the dolphin and whales have blowholes located near the top of their head. They have to come to the surface of the water for air.
One of the younger dolphins taught "me" how to play fetch! When he brought me the fish, I thought this meant he was not hungry. It didn't take me too long to figure out... the dolphin started tossing of his head back... he wanted me to toss it into the water for him. This game went one until one of the seagulls put an end to the game by snatching the fish up before the dolphin was able to get to it.
It was fun watching, interacting, and feeding the dolphins at Seaworld, Florida. But... one of the biggest thrills during our trip to Florida was to see dolphins actually swimming in the ocean. While on the beach looking for shells, we looked up to see 2 dolphins swimming... no more than 10 feet away from us, right off the shores at Sanibel Island! |
