DOLPHIN WATCH

Book Review by: Anonymous     

Original Authors: Dr. Vivienne Yu ; Dr. Arthur McNeill

                                                         
 Dolphin  Watch
             Chinese  White Dolphins
     There are about a thousand Chinese White Dolphins in the sea between Hongkong and   Macau.  Chinese White Dolphins are not white. When they are born,they are black. When they are young,they are grey. When they grow up, they become pink. 
So, Chinese White Dolphins are sometimes called '' Pink Dolphins''.
           Are Dolphins Fish ?
      Dolphins are not fish. Just like us, they are mammals.
      Dolphins  have lungs. They have to breathe. They swim
      to  the water surface to breathe  every twenty to thirty
      seconds. After that, they will dive into deep water again.
      Sometimes, they can stay underwater for a long time.
 Chinese White Dolphins are about seventy centimetres long when they are born.
 They can grow to about three metres long. They live for about forty years.
 They can see clearly in the water and out of the water. 
 Sometimes, they like jumping out of  the water.
 Today, there are fever Chinese White Dolphins. 
 They like staying in the water near the land  but people make land from the sea.
 So, dolphins have less space to live. 
 Also, the water around Hongkong is becoming more polluted.
 It is not healthy for Chinese White Dolphins.
 They are fever fish for them to eat too.
             
Do you know  where have many Chinese White Dolphins to watch?
In area Lung Kwu Chau  and  Chep Lap Kok Island  have many dolpins
for you to watch. But, you no to yell  because they  know  fear  and  leave.
You no to chase they  with  boat  and  doesn''t pour  the rubbish in the sea. 
                    Did you know?
Dolphins like to make friends. 
They like swimming with friends.
Just like you, they like to talk to their friends.
