Learn More about Dolphins

In the book - Big, Bigger, Biggest Shark did mention about the difference between a shark and a dolphin. Therefore, today, we study some facts about dolphin and compare it with shark.

From the book, it teaches us how to differentiate when a shark or a dolphin swims up to the surface. The difference is at their tail. Sharks have vertical tails while dolphins have horizontal tails. After explaining that, when the children looked back at the picture in the book, they could tell which is a shark and which is a dolphin by just observing the tails.

Then, we watched a video that tells us the facts about dolphin: Dolphin Facts and fun Discovery

From this video, we managed to capture some facts about dolphin:-
- dolphins are mammals
- dolphins can't stay in water for too long, if not it will drown
- dolphins breathe through blow holes at the back of their head
- dolphins swim in groups
