D olphins, often called simply “ small whales,” are m am m als, not fish, and are thus warm­
blooded, keeping their bod y temperature nearly constant even when they are exposed to different 
environmental temperatures. Th e mothers provide milk for the young for a year or more. Like 
other whales, dolphins have lungs and breathe through a single nostril, called the blowhole, located 
on top of the head. The blowhole is opened during their regular trips to the surface to breathe. 
Unlike some o f the large whales, dolphins have teeth, which they use to seize their food, consisting 
primarily of sea fish. Certain species o f sea dolphins are the best-know n to m an biologically because 
they survive well in the pool, which means they can be more carefully observed. T h e bottle-nosed 
dolphin has been the most studied because it is adaptable to salt-water holding tanks. It is a major 
participant in acrobatic shows at oceanariums and is noted for its interest towards humans.
