Dolphins: A Dermatologists Nightmare
I think it’s safe to say we all know at least one thing about dolphins, but they are cute, fun, and just the thing we need to welcome summer!
Firstly, some scientist thought it would be a good idea to call female dolphins cows, males bulls, and babies calves, because they are the cows of the sea? I don’t know about you, but that doesn’t quite make sense to me. If we were comparing the coolest land animals to the coolest marine animals, cows and dolphins would not be aligned.
If you want to be reincarnated to have perfect skin, the dolphin is your best bet. These slippery babes have skin that regenerates every 2 hours. Making them super soft, but also extra hydrodynamic. We can all agree they definitely don’t have a need for a dermatologist.

Trying to escape a dolphin because you think you can beat their sonar? Don’t bother. They have the best sonar known to earth. Sorry bat’s, you just didn’t make the cut. Also, can I just say that echolocation is like morse code, but for eating?
In case you want to get one of those posters that shows all the different kinds of dolphins, there are 44 species (38 marine, and 5 river), so that poster is going to be big. You better clear out some wall space.
Do you need a nap buddy? These water dogs turn off one hemisphere of their brain to sleep (or else they would drown) and nap for short periods of 15-20 mins.
If you like mean girls, then dolphins are your people! Dolphins have friends and prefer to spend more time with the other dolphins from their pods that they actually like—talk about clicks. They also have “names” or a specific whistle/click sound that they respond to. Next time you meet a dolphin you better learn their name or they will probably think you are rude.
Takin’ it back to roman times, dolphins were considered sacred fish and it was a crime punishable by death to kill one. I’m curious how often the Romans were hanging with dolphins? Maybe we have the roman empire all backwards, and they actually knew Dolphins were the most intelligent species.
