DOLPHINS
Dolphins are small whales, and dolphins are very ancient creatures. According to fossil evidence, scientists say the modern dolphins first appeared on earth during the Miocene period, 25 million years ago. Rare dolphin species live in rivers in the Amazon and China, but most dolphins live in the temperate oceans . There are 26 recognized species ofDelphinidae (dolphin), and dolphins are the most diverse family of the Cetaceans. Cetaceans comprise all whales, porpoises, and dolphins.
The first recorded studies of dolphins and dolphin behavior, was undertaken by the ancient
Greek philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BC). In Historia Animalium (The History of Animals),
Aristotle was the first to correctly claim that dolphins were mammals like us. He noted that
dolphins bore their young alive, dolphins suckled their young, dolphins breathed air, and
dolphins communicated by underwater dolphin sounds.
