Some other fun-facts about the coolest kids in the animal planet:
- Dolphins have to be conscious to breath, so they cannot go into a full deep sleep because they would suffocate. So they are able to actually let just half of their brain sleep at a time.
- Dolphins are thought to have evolved from a land animal resembling a wolf.
- There's a dolphin called a narwhal that's known as the unicorn of the sea.
- Unlike other mammals (besides us of course), dolphins often engage in sex and foreplay just for fun and throughout the year, not just during mating season. They are also one of the only mammals to engage in homosexual sexual play.
- When dolphins give birth, another female dolphin acts as the "midwife" and is the only other pod member allowed near the calf.
- An albino dolphin was spotted once.
