Dolphins live in groups called pods. A pod can have 10 to 30 dolphins. They work together to find food and stay safe. Dolphins are very social animals and love to play.

Dolphins talk to each other using clicks and whistles. Each dolphin has its own special whistle, like a name. They use sound to find fish in dark water. This is called echolocation.

Dolphins help humans too. They have rescued people in the ocean. Scientists study dolphins to learn about intelligence. We must protect dolphins and keep the ocean clean for them.
