Question

Can dolphins talk? Maybe they can’t talk with words, but they talk with sounds. They show their feelings with sounds.

Dolphins travel in a group. We call a group of fish a “school”. They don’t study, but they travel together.

Dolphins are mammals（哺乳動物）, not fish, but they swim together in a school. Dolphins talk to the other dolphins in the school. They give information. They tell when they are happy or sad or afraid. They say“welcome”when a dolphin comes back to the school. They talk when they play.

They make a few sounds above water. They make many more sounds under water. People can’t hear these sounds because they are very, very high. Scientists make tapes of the sounds and study them.
