2. Impact Humans have an impact on dolphins because when humans pollute and destroy the environment, and the ocean dolphins are killed. The prosthetic body parts of dolphins are making it easier for other dolphins to live. One of the reasons people are going “green” is because of the dolphins and fish in the ocean. On how dolphins relate with other fish, they don’t worry about being eaten by sharks, some dolphins are stronger then a shark. Dolphins are very social able with humans and animals

3. Facts Bottlenose Dolphins can stay up to 15 minutes under water although they usually stay only a few minutes diving. The bottlenose dolphin can grow up to 2.5-2.8 meters. While there are some other smaller species, there are some species much bigger like the killer whale. Dolphins have to be conscious to breath. This means that they cannot go into a full deep sleep, because then they would suffocate. Bottlenose dolphins eat several kinds of fish (including mullet, mackerel, herring, cod) The maximum age for bottlenose dolphins is between 40 and 50 years. Dolphins can make a unique signature whistle that may help individual dolphins recognize each other or perform any other kind of communication still unknown.

4. Article A dolphin named Winter lost her tail in a crab trap. Winter was discovered in a crab trap off the coast of Florida in 2005. Rescuers rushed the baby bottlenose dolphin to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. But the dolphin was a fighter, and she began to recover. She grew and gained weight, and began to swim using her flippers and a side- to-side motion. Although pleased by her recovery, winter's keepers were worried by her strange swimming style. Carroll a scientist heard the story of Winter's plight on the radio and offered to help. He put his knack for developing prosthetics for people to work, and in a little more than a year he had designed a flexible artificial tail made from silicon for Winter. Thanks to her prosthetic tail, Winter has thrived at the aquarium in Florida. She has grown into a healthy 82 kilogram (180 pound) dolphin with thousands of human friends who come to the aquarium each year to see her.

5. Article Dolphins can make a signature whistle that may help an individual dolphins recognize each other or perform any other kind of communication still unknown. Dolphins lack vocal cords and therefore communicate with whistles, squeaks, moans and clicks. A mother dolphin may whistle to her calf continuously for several days after giving birth so that the acoustic imprinting helps the calf learn to identify its mother
