Make a splash this National Dolphin Day! Join us for an ocean-side celebration of these amazing creatures and learn more about their conservation.
Celebrate National Dolphin Day on April 14 with a heartfelt appreciation for these amazing creatures! It's an annual event to raise awareness about dolphin conservation, and the need to protect their habitats. Dolphins are intelligent, social animals that have been around since ancient times- they were even worshiped by some cultures as gods. They are playful and can often be seen playing in pods offshore or leaping out of the water in joyous leaps. Let's take this special day to honor our ocean friends!
Visit your local aquarium and take in a dolphin show. You'll be amazed at what these intelligent mammals can do.
Many seaside towns offer boat tours so you can see dolphins up close and personal. Enjoy the peacefulness of being out on the open water.
Dive into research about dolphins and their habitats, behaviors, and characteristics. There's so much to learn about these amazing creatures.
Make a donation or volunteer your time to help conserve and protect dolphins and their habitats around the world.
Express your love for dolphins by creating something beautiful with paint, pencils, clay or photography.
Dolphins are one of the most intelligent animals in the world. They have complex social behaviors and interactions, showing empathy and even grief towards one another. They also love to play, doing tricks like leaping in the air or 'surfing' on boats for fun!
Dolphins are able to communicate through a wide range of vocalizations, including clicks, whistles, squeals, and squeaks. Researchers have found that these calls are used to express feelings and form relationships with other dolphins within their pod.
Not only are dolphins amazing creatures to observe in nature, but they also provide us with valuable assistance. Dolphins in some parts of the world can be trained to herd fish into fishing nets which helps fisherman catch more fish with less effort - now how cool is that?
