Compared to other animals, dolphins are believed to be very intelligent.
Bottlenose dolphins are the most common and well known type of dolphin.
The Blue Whale is the largest animal ever to have lived on earth.
Despite being so massive, this giant of the ocean feeds on some of the smallest marine life – tiny shrimp like animals called krill.
World Whale and Dolphin Day was established in 1986 by the International Whaling Commission. This day is celebrated on July 23 as it marks the same date in 1982 when the members of the Commission voted for a complete ban on commercial whaling.
