The Dolphin is a majestic Sea mammal believed to be highly intelligent. They are said to have mythical powers. Most dolphin species are about 6 ft in length, the males averaging 4 to 8 in longer than females. One of the largest dolphins is the bottle-nose dolphin which can reach over 9ft in length and weigh 440 lbs. The smallest species is the buffeo, found in the Amazon River. The buffeo rarely grows over 3.9 ft in length and 66 lbs in weight, really smalled compared to the bottle_nose. Dolphins feed on live food and are predators, except when trained otherwise in captivity. The primary food is fish, mostly things like herring, mackerel, and sardines. Some species seem to prefer squid, occasionally, shrimp and other crustacean are consumed, and even mollusk shells have been found in their stomach contents.

At Sea world on the Gold Coast in Queensland Australia they will let you put on a wetsuit and swim with the Dolphins there for a charge. I promised I would take my English friend there if ever comes back to Aus.
