part of speech: noun
definition: A dolphin is a mammal that looks similar to a large fish and lives in the water. Like all mammals, it breathes air. Dolphins have teeth and a mouth that looks similar to a bird's beak. Dolphins that we see at water parks or on TV are usually gray, but there are dolphins of other colors too. Most kinds of dolphins live in the ocean.
Dolphins make interesting sounds when they communicate to each other.
