While doing my researchon dolphins I found an evolutionary tree . This evolutionary tree shows the evolutionary relationship.

Did
youknow? To prevent drowning while sleeping only half of a dolphin
brain goes to sleep the other half stay awake so it can breathe.
I
hypothesis that dolphins have strong teeth they are carnivores, mostly
eating fish and squid. if dolphins didn’t have strong teeth they would
not be able to chew squid because squids have hard tentacles with sharp
nails looking object.
Bottlenose dolphins not only have individual “names,” technically
signature whistles they use to identify themselves, but they also copy
the whistles of companions and family members likely as a means of
calling out to those specific animals just like humans call each other
by their name. Both humans and dolphins are mammals, so both have
mammary glands, and hair on their skin, and they have 7 cervical
vertebrae as humans do.Both are mammals, so both have mammary glands,

Dolphins have bigger brain than humans. This piece of information is

I predict that dolphins might not live for a long time due to the
slaughter of more than 20,000 dolphins and porpoises off the coast of
Japan every year, and how their meat, containing toxic levels of
mercury, is sold as food in Japan and other parts of Asia, often labeled
as whale meat, the hunt still goes on find out what you can do to help
these poor dolphins. The majority of the world is not aware this is
happening. From The Cove a documentary.
