Celebrated on April 14th
Did you know: It has been proven by scientists that dolphins give themselves names. They develop their own individual whistles and they recognize theirs and other dolphins' names. They sleep with only half their brain When they are asleep, one part of their brain remains alert and awake. This keeps them safe from potential predators, and enables them to breathe while sleeping.

When studying their fins, scientists have found that they are actually formed like legs and toes. So maybe our closest sea friends were wolf-like land animals once.
