Dolphins wallpaper. Positive photos of cheerful dolphins

Marine inhabitants that have attracted people's attention for centuries with their intelligence and mystery are dolphins. Their graceful, spindle-shaped body is ideal for swimming. Friendliness and curiosity have often made dolphins friends of people. There are numerous cases when these cetaceans saved the lives of drowning people.

Zoologists classify dolphins as mammals of the suborder of toothed whales. There are more than 50 species of these animals. They can be found in almost any part of the world's oceans.

Mammal skin is elastic and smooth. The back is dark brown or black, the belly is much lighter, almost white. The dolphin is able to change the elasticity of its fins and skin depending on its density aquatic environment. It is allowed to develop enormous speed by a specific lubricant that covers the entire body.

The pointed muzzle looks like a bird's beak. However, if you look into the mouth, you can see a large number of very strong teeth, from 80 to 100 on each jaw. This is necessary to keep prey in the water, since dolphins are carnivores.

Cetaceans breathe through a blowhole - a nasal opening located in the center of the head. Therefore, they are forced to rise to the surface quite often. During sleep, they slowly drift under the surface of the water surface, emerging every 30 seconds to breathe. This is done automatically, the dolphins don’t even wake up.

Dolphin lifestyle and nutrition

Dolphins live in large families (pods), in which all members are relatives. They don't have strangers. Family ties are so strong that clans do not disintegrate for several centuries. The pack can be led by either a female or a male, depending on the type of group. Animals “talk” using whistles or chirps, which have different emotional connotations.

Any action is performed by the group synchronously. This explains the most beautiful sight - a school of dolphins soaring above the water. Animals never leave their relatives in trouble and are able to support a weakened comrade on the surface as long as necessary so that he does not choke.

During the hunt, animals attack large schools of fish. Being in shallow water, they are able to set traps for their prey. Dolphins do not disdain mollusks and crustaceans.

Sometimes, in pursuit of fish, animals descend to a considerable depth - up to 300 m. To do this, they have to hold their breath for a long time, up to 15 minutes. Sometimes dolphins catch fish by stunning them with their tails or disorienting them through echolocation.

Dolphin breeding

Depending on the species, pregnancy in dolphins lasts approximately 12-16 months. During childbirth, the mother is surrounded by her friends, protecting her from a possible killer whale attack. The female usually gives birth to one calf. Immediately after birth, the flock pushes the baby to the surface, where its lungs open.

The baby is born quite large, about 60 cm in length. During the first months he does not swim away from his mother and feeds breast milk right in the water. He cannot choke, since the dolphins' esophagus does not connect to the respiratory tract.

Raising offspring is the responsibility of females. Thanks to intensive nutrition, babies quickly gain weight. Cetaceans reach a state of maturity by two years.

Experienced sailors say that dolphins, like flocks of birds, “fly” around ships on the open sea. And it’s very pleasant to see how these positive mammals flutter around as if not touching the water. Therefore, when creating a collection that includes photos of dolphins, we tried to make you see them from a new side: cheerful, playful, smiling.

Dolphin in an enclosure India has become the 4th country to ban the keeping of dolphins in captivity. Previously, similar measures were taken by Costa Rica, Hungary and Chile. Indians call dolphins "a person or person of other origin than" homo sapiens" Accordingly, the “person” must have its own rights, and its exploitation for commercial purposes is legally unacceptable. Scientists who analyze animal behavior (ethologists) say that it is very difficult to determine the line separating human intelligence and emotions from the nature of dolphins.

The dolphin is the only mammal whose birth literally begins with the tail, and not with the head! Young dolphins stay with their mother for 2 or 3 years.

In nature, there are almost forty species of dolphins, their closest relatives are whales and sea cows. Dolphins evolved relatively recently - about ten million years ago, during the Miocene. Most dolphin species live in salt water, but there are also freshwater animals.

Adult dolphins reach sizes from 1.2 m in length and weight from 40 kg (river dolphin), to 9.5 m and 10 tons (killer whale). The brain is the largest organ in a dolphin's body. During sleep, part of the brain is awake, allowing the dolphin to breathe while sleeping so it doesn't drown! The life of a dolphin directly depends on access to oxygen.

Dolphins have a weak sense of smell, but excellent vision and absolutely unique hearing. Producing powerful sound impulses, they are capable of echolocation, which allows them to perfectly navigate in the water, find each other and food.

Dolphins can swim at speeds of up to 25 miles per hour for long periods of time. This is approximately 3 times faster than the fastest swimmers in the world.

They also love to do... surfing! For example, surfing dolphins can often be observed off the coast of Hawaii.

The history of interaction between man and dolphin begins with the first mention of these animals. It was recently discovered that the body language of dolphins is largely in accordance with the rules. verbal communications person. Communication with dolphins has a positive effect on the human body, especially on the child’s psyche. British experts came to this conclusion back in 1978. Since that time, the development of “dolphin therapy” began. It is now used to treat many physical and mental illnesses, including autism and other ailments. Swimming with dolphins relieves chronic pain, improves immunity and even helps children develop speech!

Ixtapa, MexicoPicture: CATERS Absolutely unique feature dolphins - they can “look inside” a person, like an ultrasound device - for example, they quickly determine a woman’s pregnancy. The feeling of “new life” often excites dolphins very emotionally; they react violently and joyfully to pregnant women, and, as a rule, pregnant women are not allowed to swim in the enclosures (although this may be true) best time for communication), so as not to take away the attention of animals from other visitors, and to avoid an involuntary “emotional attack” on the unborn baby.

A touching example of human care for animals: a 10-day-old dolphin who lost its mother is being fed at the shelter.

He already has best friend- little penguin
