Dolphin
Information

Unlike fish, Dolphins are mammals and use lungs to breath instead of gills. Like other mammals they give birth as opposed to laying eggs but unlike other mammels they do not have hair on their bodies. They don't have body hair because they need to swim as fast as they can to catch fish, their main source of food. They also need to be able to evade their predetors, like the evil sharks found in the ocean. Dolphins also eat squid. The name Dolphin refers to the species that have a beaklike snout and slender, streamlined body, which has developed over millions of years through evolution to enable them to swim at high speeds. Unlike our skin, the Dolphins' skin made of live cells, unlike our dead skin and because of this they have no protection from bumps or bruises.
