Family of Dolphins playing Pensacola Bay

Dolphins travel in pods, however since they are marine mammals, I like to think of them as family. They are very smart and are fun to watch. Come visit Pensacola, Florida and you can see them for yourself. Here are some fun facts about Dolphins.
1. Dolphins are mammals. They’re warm-blooded, have hair when they’re first born, breathe air through a blowhole, give birth to live young, and their babies drink milk from mom.
2. When sleeping, half of a dolphin’s brain goes to sleep while the other half stays awake. This allows the dolphin to continue breathing in order to keep from drowning.
3.It is common for dolphin pods to care for their injured, old and sick members. There are even stories of dolphins coming to the aid of humans in dire time of need.
4. The dolphins you see in Pensacola, Florida are bottlenose dolphins. They live in tropical and temperate waters and can even be found in bays and estuaries.
5. Dolphins can hold their breath for long periods of time, depending on the species, with anywhere from 20 seconds to 30 minutes being recorded.
