Some of my favorite places to live are in lagoons, harbors, bays, gulfs, and estuaries. • When full-grown I can weigh up to 500 pounds and measure 8 feet long. • My favorite items to eat are fish and crustaceans, such as shrimp. We practice catching food by throwing seaweed at each other. • I am a bottlenose dolphin and breathe through my blow hole, not my nose. I do hold my breath underwater. Next time you see a dolphin you will see we can hold our breath a long time. • In the past, dolphins have been endangered because sometimes they get caught in nets meant to catch other fish. • Here is one more interesting fact about us that you may observe when you are on the water: If you see us scratching each other with our teeth or blowing bubbles through our blow hole, we are not happy.
