Dolphins, for example, also breathe with lungs like other mammals, and are viviparous and suckling. Dolphins live in the ocean and generally like to live in warm waters, more in the tropics. Dolphins are carnivores and feed on marine animals. The two main types of food are fish and squid.
What are dolphins and where do they live?

1. What kind of animal

is a dolphin? Dolphin is a kind of animal with lovely appearance. In terms of category, dolphins belong to the family Dolphinidae, order Artiodactyla, class Mammalia. Because they belong to the class Mammalia, they are often referred to as mammals. Many people think that dolphins belong to fish because they live in the water like many other fish, which is actually a wrong view. As mammals, dolphins also conform to the common characteristics of mammals. For example, dolphins, like other mammals, breathe with lungs in terms of breathing methods and respiratory organs. In terms of reproductive methods, dolphins, like other mammals, are viviparous and lactating.

From the point of view of living environment, dolphins are marine animals, living in the sea. They have the word "sea" in their names, and their living environment can be seen from their names. However, dolphins are not found in all sea areas, but mainly live in warm sea areas. Especially in tropical waters, the number of dolphins is relatively large. Dolphins are carnivores in terms of feeding habits. Because they live in the ocean, their food is mainly marine animals. The two main types are fish and squid.

2. Where

do dolphins live? As mentioned above, dolphins live in the ocean, and their living environment can be clearly seen from their names. Specifically, different dolphins live in different sea areas. Most of these species prefer to live in warm waters, so they are more widely distributed in the tropics. However, there are also a small number of species that prefer cool waters and live in high latitudes, such as the "right dolphin". Dolphins are relatively large and eat a lot of fish and squid around them, so they usually live in places where animals are abundant.
