Title: Wild Animals
Section: Dolphin and Seals
In this short section, When Dolphins get bored they act in an unusual way, like they try and communicate with people at the zoos. When dolphins communicate they do it in a way by whistling and squeaking. They also use echo location to detect distant objects world-wide. On the other hand seals swim by using the forelimbs. The forelimbs coat appears light fawn when it is dry. The make seals are what they call bulls, and the female seals are called cows. The seals are not that good out on land like sealions are, also seals could stay under water for about fifteen minutes. Most of these animals are located in the north of Atlantic coast and north of pacific coast. I learned that there are animals that are the same but only some of them could be in water then in water. I also learned that dolphins cold communicate which I never really knew that, and I think that’s cool that they could communicate. I liked the fact that seals can be in and out of water for a little bit of time, and I also like the fact that sealions could be on land and that they swim with there forelimbs.
