Dolphins
General Dolphins are mammals, not fish. Mammals, unlike fish, feed their young
classification with milk that is produced in the mother’s body. Also unlike fish, dolphins
have lungs and are warm-blooded that is, their body temperature always stays
about the same, regardless of the temperature of their surroundings. Many
scientist believe that dolphins rank among the most intelligent animals, along
with chimpanzees and dogs.
Description Dolphins, whales and porpoises are members of mammals called
cetaceans. Dolphins and porpoises are very similar in appearance. Their chief
differences occur in the snout and teeth. Dolphins have a beaklike snout and
cone-shaped teeth. Porpoises have a rounded snout and flat or spade-shaped
teeth. Whales are much larger than most dolphins and porpoise.
Scientists apply the term dolphin to two families of cetaceans, marine
dolphins and river dolphins. There are 32 species of marine dolphins. They
are found in nearly all oceans, and most of them live only in salt water. Many
species of marine dolphins remain near land for most of their lives, but some
live in the open sea. River dolphins live in fresh or slightly salty water.

muscular tail. They use their keen sense of smell to locate decaying animal
remains from several miles away. They also hunt other lizards as well as
large mammals and are sometimes cannibalistic.
The Komodo dragon’s teeth are almost completely covered by its gums.
When it feeds, the gums bleed, creating an ideal culture for virulent bacteria.

blood poisoning, in its victims. A dragon will bite its prey, then follow it until
the animal is too weak to carry on.
This lizard species is threatened by hunting, loss of prey species and
habitat loss.
