Did dolphins' ancestors belong to the same group as rhinoceroses, horses, giraffes? Dolphins are a big family of animals that have many shapes and sizes. No matter where they are from or what form they take, dolphins have a knack for making sea life funny. Millions of years ago, dolphins' ancestors had legs and walked on land! All cetaceans - the group includes dolphins and porpoises - are likely descended from a group of meat-eating, hoofed mammals. These ancestors began moving into the sea around 50 million years ago because it contained food. Over the years, the cetacean family tree branched out from those early ancestors into the main three groups that we see today - dolphins, whales, and porpoises. You can find evidence of modern cetaceans' land-loving origins. Their skeletons contain small, rod-shaped bones near their pelvis. These bones are the remains of hind legs - evolutionary leftovers after millions of years of turning into full-time swimmers. Dolphins live in every ocean in the world and even in some rivers. Most dolphins live in the warm waters around the Equator. Dolphins sleep for about eight hours a day, although they never sleep deep. They sleep with only half their brain at a time. The other half stays active can surface to breathe. Their smooth, hairless bodies glide through the water with ease. Dolphins stay warm in cold water with the help of layers of fat under their skin called blubber. A blowhole at the top of their head allows for easy breathing at the water's surface. Dusky dolphin lives near southern Australia and New Zealand. Every morning they move to deeper waters in search of food. Dusky Dolphin is one of the most intelligent animal species in the world. It communicates with other individuals using its language with whistles, clicks, and squeaks.

*** Your teacher asked you and your friends to do the school projects about the animals. Kate’s made a project about dolphins. Read the text of her presentation and choose only FALSE statements. Dolphins. Dolphins live in water but they are not fish. They need air to breathe. They can stay under the water for many minutes but then they must come up to the surface. Some dolphins live in the sea, some dolphins live in rivers. They like warm water the best. Sometimes dolphins swim close to ships. They jump out of the water again and again. They can swim very fast – up to 55 kilometers an hour. A number of dolphins swimming together is called a ‘school’. There are small and big dolphins: some are two or three meters long. Dolphins are not dangerous. They are very clever animals and they love playing. Dolphins have smiling faces. They ‘speak’ with high squeaks and clicking sounds.

Your friend visited the Zoo last week, and he made an animal quiz for his classmates. Read the descriptions and match them to the animals.

Read the text and mark the statements that are true. Last summer Alice Duglas spent her holidays with her parents and her little brother Sammy. They went to the seaside. The family lived in a nice little cottage near the beach. The weather was fine. It was warm and sunny and the children went swimming every day. One day Alice and Sammy decided to go boating. They took a nice small boat from the beach and started boating along the beach. Then a strong wind started to blow and it took the boat into the open sea. Alice tried to turn the boat and get back to the beach, but she lost balance and fell into the water. She didn’t know what to do. Alice was a good swimmer but at that moment she was afraid and she couldn’t swim. Her little brother couldn’t help her. She began to cry, “Help! Help!” Suddenly Alice saw dolphins in the water around her. One dolphin took Alice on his mouth and put her in the boat. Then the dolphins swam away. Little Sammy said, “Did you see that?! That dolphin helped you!” Alice was very happy! She was back in the boat. Alice wanted to say thank you to the dolphin, but when she looked around, she saw just water and a clear blue sky. The two children got back to the beach. They told the story to their parents. Now the dolphins are the most favourite animals in the Duglas family. They hope they will meet this kind dolphin one day and thank him.

Read the text and choose the right variants in the sentences below. Some dolphins live in rivers and some live in the sea. The Yangtze River runs across China from west to east. Baiji dolphins have been living in the waters of the Yangtze River for centuries. They have eyes on top of their heads, but nowadays they cannot see very well because there is nothing to see in the dirty water. The river itself has changed a lot. Now it is full of ships, noise and pollution. The dolphins didn’t change their behaviour after the river became dirty, but their life now is much more dangerous. Dolphins can usually hear very well, they make their own dolphin noises and in this way they talk to other dolphins. Nowadays there is a lot of other noise in the river, especially the loud noise from big ships. Baiji dolphins often can’t understand these noises and kill themselves swimming to the ships. The Chinese understand that Baiji dolphins are in danger. They began building a home for them in the river. In India and Bangladesh dolphins are also in danger. The meat of sea dolphins is an important food for people in many countries and humans kill hundreds of thousands of them every year.
