Dolphins have lungs. They have to
breathe.

After that, they will dive into deep water again.
Sometimes, they can stay underwater for along time.

They can see clearly in the water and out of the water.
Sometimes, they like jumping out of the water.
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 Hong Kong is becoming more polluted.
