Group Behavior
Fun Facts
• Sometimes several dolphin pods join and make a “super pod.”
• Dolphins can make sounds underwater without moving their mouths.
• To get fish in a hurry, some dolphins take long, flat leaps in the air. Because air is not as dense as water, they are able to travel faster.
Fun Facts

• Bottlenose dolphins can live for more than 40 years. Orcas can live ‘till 90!
About The Author
I am a second-grade author from Broomall, PA. I love writing stories that are poetry and creative. When I’m not writing, I enjoy playing sports outside, being with my family and reading. Some of my favorite books are Harry Potter, A Pinch of Magic and the Nerviest Girl in The World. I was inspired to write this book because dolphins are my favorite animal and I want to learn more about them. One fun fact about me is I play ice hockey. I hope you enjoy reading my book as much as I enjoyed writing it!
I would like to dedicate this book to my Mom, Dad, and Teachers.
