Dolphins

**Dolphins can be very friendly. They are really intelligent too. Dolphins can make friends with humans. In England, in the 1970s, a dolphin called Donald played with divers, and in New Zealand, a dolphin called Opo will let children ride on its back! Dolphins live for 17-25 years but some can live to 50 years old. You can swim with them and its really fun even though I've never tried.**

**Some dolphins can be light blue, sometimes grey or maybe turquoise. They are silky and cool! I love dolphins even though I've never in my life touched one or saw one. Dolphins are marine mammals. They can jump out of the water. Dolphins are closely related to whales. There are almost 40 species of dolphins in the 17 genera. They mostly eat squid and fish. They catch them and when they are in a marine park people feed them. All dolphins grow to 4ft-6ft tall and weigh 40kg-60kg.**
