What type of animal is a dolphin?
What is a Mammal
Key Characteristics of Dolphins as Mammals
Warm-blooded: Dolphins maintain a constant body temperature independent of the surrounding water, a hallmark of mammals.
Lungs for breathing: Unlike fish, dolphins do not have gills. They breathe air through a blowhole on top of their heads and must surface regularly to inhale oxygen.
Live birth and nursing: Dolphins give birth to live young and feed them with milk produced by mammary glands, another defining mammalian trait.
Hair and anatomy: Dolphins have a small amount of hair around their blowholes, and their skeletal structure, including vestigial pelvic bones, reflects their evolution from land-dwelling mammals
