This photo was taken during a show at Sea World in Miami, Florida. The show was focused on the amazing and spectacular abilities of four dolphins and their interactions among themselves and their trainer. Dolphins are marine mammals, part of the family of toothed whales including the famous orcas and also the pilot whales. These magnificent animals are found worldwide, mostly in shallow seas of the continental shelves. They are carnivores and mostly eat fish and squid. Dolphins are social creatures living in social groups of five to several hundred individuals. Although their coloration varies, generally dolphins exist in gray color with backs darker than the rest of their bodies.I have always been attracted to dolphins as they are highly intelligent marine mammals, showing extreme agility and very playful behavior. Indeed, dolphins are among the most intelligent animals, and they have a friendly appearance, which is actually an artifact of the "smile" of their mouth line, and seeming playfulness. Interestingly, they live in social groups and they often synchronize their movements with one another. One fascinating characteristics of dolphins is that they use echolocation, also known as a biological sonar. They emit calls out to the environment and listen to the echoes of those calls that return from various objects near them. Dolphins use these echoes to locate and identify the objects, for navigation, and to find prey. That is, dolphins use their echolocation mechanisms to find prey and often hunt together, within a social pack, by surrounding a school of fish and taking turns swimming through the school and catching their prey.
