At the same time, the sea water is also swallowed into the stomach, which is also necessary for dolphins to carry out normal life activities. Its teeth play a small role in eating, mainly in the time of predation, can catch prey, and then swallow.

Seaweed is also living in the sea, but they belong to plants. Sometimes dolphins eat seaweed. Nevertheless, seaweed is not a major part of the dolphin's diet, and dolphins generally do not eat seaweed when there is enough meat to eat. Of course, if dolphins are tired of eating meat, they may try to eat some plants, but after all, they can not replace animals in their diet.
