Natural
Protection
|
Dolphins have their own natural
defenses and protections. For example, if a shark try's to attack
a baby dolphin then the other dolphins in the group will come to
it's rescue. The dolphins will begin circling the shark. Then they
will ram their hard snouts into the sharks soft underbelly.
Usually the dolphins win th is battle. This is because sharks are
made up of cartilage, no bones. Also most species have a visual
field. It stretches ahead, 180 degrees all the way around, and
almost straight up and down. This helps to spot lurking predators.
Dolphins have very powerful tails too. If they feel threatened by
something then they can use their snouts and tails to protect
themselves. You will almost always find dolphins swimming in a
pack. This helps them protect themselves because they will have
help if they are in trouble. Dolphins are also speedy swimmers.
They can swim quickly away from predators if they need to. When
baby dolphins are born their mothers are their teachers and
protectors. Dolphins are very intelligent creatures. This
helps them a lot too.
