A dolphin listens with two ears. It can hear all kinds of noises under water. It can hear small stones rolling. It can hear the sound that fish and other dolphins make. A dolphin’s ears may be small, but its mouth is big. It has to be big. It holds almost one hundred teeth. These teeth are all the same shape and size. They are used for catching food, but not for chewing. A dolphin opens its big mouth and seizes a fish firmly between its two rows of teeth. Then it swallows the whole fish.

Dolphins live their whole lives in water. But they are not fish. They are mammals (哺乳动物) that live in water. That’s why a dolphin comes to the top of the water so often. It has to breathe air. A dolphin’s nose isn’t easy to be seen. It’s just a small hole on top of its head. The hole is called a blowhole (喷水孔).
