Dolphins

[Janos]

Following from the interesting thread about interesting fish. Are dolphins fish or witches?

I've never seen one on a broomstick so I voted fish.

Boring dolphin fact: they don't hold their breath but breathe out before submerging. Oxygen is stored in their blood and tissues while they are under.



PS- please not the correct spelling of breathe. It's got an e on the end. Like in ignorante.

well they don't sink so they must be witches........................

I disagree, they EXHALE when they have surfaced from a dive, INHALE, then dive again, as they go deeper the chest cavity crushes in slightly.

Woz, your daughter is too young to be running a wildlife magazine. No wonder it's full of misinformation

Well I have 25 years training dolphins, seals and pilot whales for the US Navy and was in the water for up to ten hours a day.

Even on a National Geographic program it was ststed that Orcas were the largest member of the toothed whales. The Sperm whale just happens to be the largest.

If dolphins can be trained they must be witches, as fish are idiots and untrainable.

here in Australia a dolphin (mammal) is called a porpoise
and
a dorado (fish) is called a dolphin.
