The dolphin is one of the most beautiful and intelligent animals on our planet. I think man has always had a fascination for dolphins and it appears they share that same fascination with us. A dolphin is a mammal and the scientific community view these animals more like humans than a fish. They are a marine mammal like a whale is a marine mammal. The appearance of the dolphin is what gives humans such a big interest in these sea creatures. I don’t think there is another animal on the planet that is smarter than a dolphin and this has created a long list of themes that revolve around the dolphin.

Have you ever wanted to swim with the dolphins? I think this would be an experience like none other. People living in the state of Florida or that go to the Sunshine State on vacation have the opportunity to swim with dolphins. They do this in Orlando, Florida at a place called Discovery Cove. If you haven’t ever heard of Discovery Cove it’s more popular than you think. It is located with Sea World in Orlando and there are lots of tourists and travelers that visit SeaWorld every year. If this feels like a place that you would like to take the family; then I have a great blog that you can visit for more information about swimming with the dolphins.

This is a great blog with information and pictures on the adventure you and your family will enjoy at Discovery Cove in Orlando. Anyone that likes dolphins will enjoy this blog and it’s a great read too. If you visit Dolphin Bubbles be sure to leave a reply or should I say “leave a bubble”. I think a dolphin swim would be a day the whole family would remember. Just don’t forget the camera, so you can take your own dolphin pictures.

Our daily lives have a lot of things that are geared toward dolphins. I have seen dolphin screensavers, dolphin backgrounds, and lots of dolphin images that you can find online. I’m sure some people decorate their computers with dolphin items and have dolphin merchandise all through their house. I have also seen a dolphin game for the computer that appears to be pretty popular. The game is called Dolphin Olympics and I think it went over pretty well because there is a Dolphin Olympics 2 game that has came out recently. If they made a dolphin 2, you know that dolphin 3 or Dolphin Olympics 3 is probably in the making. Dolphins have certainly made a place for their self on our computers and if you want 3d dolphin wallpaper it is available!

Orlando isn’t the only place you can find dolphins. They are lots of them in Miami, Florida! Well these dolphins are a bit different and these are the players and fans of the Miami Dolphins football team. I have always loved the uniforms of the Miami Dolphins and have kept up with them for many years now. The Miami Dolphins is a NFL (National Football League) football team that plays in South Florida. I think all across the country they are many fans of one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play in the NFL and that is Dan Marino. He is a legendary Miami Dolphins player and his numbers speak for their self. The Dolphins football team is also known as the last NFL team to go perfect on the year. They had a perfect record back in 1972 and since they achieved this incredible mark, no team in the NFL has won every regular season game, playoff game, and the Super Bowl in one year. The New England Patriots had a perfect record going into the Super Bowl a few years back, but was unable to win it, after a devastating upset by the New York Giants. The long-time coach of the Miami Dolphins Don Shula was happy to see the Dolphins perfect record intact, since he led the Miami team to that magical season in 1972.

There are lots of different dolphins that roam our oceans. I think we all see the bottlenose dolphin when we think about these beautiful animals. Do you remember the most popular dolphin ever? If you said Flipper then that would be correct. Flipper from the popular TV show back in the 1960’s was a bottle nose dolphin. Everyone loved the show and Flipper was the Lassie of the ocean.

Have you ever heard of people eating dolphins? There is a great tasting fish that goes by the name Mahi Mahi and I highly recommend eating this type of fish. Mahi Mahi isn’t a bottlenose dolphin, so you’re not eating Flipper when you try Mahi Mahi. This is actually from the dolphin fish and not the marine mammal that is so popular. The dolphin fish is not related to the Delphinidae family and the way we usually think about dolphins. I wasn’t going to write up a nice blog post on dolphins and then give you recipes on how to eat them, so don’t worry about trying mahi mahi sometime. An excellent tasting fish and it doesn’t have that strong fishy taste that you get from some types of fish. Several of your favorite seafood restaurants will offer mahimahi as a menu selection and it isn’t hard to find.

Types of Dolphins

*Grey Dolphin

*White Dolphin

*Dolphin Whale

*Humpback Dolphin

*Pink Dolphin

There is over 40 different types of dolphins. However, if you mention the word “dolphin”, then most people will see the bottlenosed dolphin or Flipper. Florida isn’t the only U.S. state that you can see dolphins and there are California Dolphins and I’m sure many dolphins roam around the shores of Hawaii, where the term “mahi mahi” is a Hawaiian word. I enjoyed the research on dolphins that I did today and found some great information that I learned about dolphins. It isn’t hard to find dolphin information online. You can type in “dolphin” or even dolphine and you will get lots of great information about this incredible creature. It’s easy to understand the fascination and love that so many people have for dolphins. They do seem to have a great personality and who knows how high a dolphins IQ might really be. They do make sounds under the water and can communicate with other dolphins. The dolphin sounds get classified into 3 types and they all have different purposes.
