Welcome to our series of FUN FACTS ABOUT DOLPHINS, presented by Hubbard's Marina at John's Pass in Madeira Beach Florida.

Dolphins are usually very active creatures, but they need to sleep just like most animals. Dolphins can not sleep in the same way that we do. They must remain conscious at all times, so they rest by allowing half of their brain at a time to go into a sleep state, while the other half remains aware of their surroundings and breathing needs.

Dolphins do, in fact, have two natural enemies. The shark and the killer whale are both natural predators of dolphins.

Dolphins breathe air just like we do. They can hold their breath from 5 minutes all the way up to 20 minutes depending upon what they're doing.

Dolphins are very compassionate and altruistic in the wild. They have been observed helping injured individuals including other dolphins, whales and even humans by nudging them to the surface to breath.

For more fun facts about dolphins please watch the other videos in our series. If you would like to see live dolphins UP CLOSE, be sure to book a dolphin watching cruise on the Big Blue Boat at Hubbaards Marina!
