Another interesting snippet about dolphins and the Indo Pacific Hump Backed Dolphin

Question:-How do dolphins sleep? Answer: Dolphins sleep only with one half of their brain at a time. Remember dolphins are conscious breathers. Should they sleep and go unconscious as we do they would simply suffocate or drown. Sleeping dolphins can be seen as resting, floating at the surface, with one eye open. After a time, they will close the one eye and open the other one. They alternate like this throughout their entire nap.

And finally ... about dolphins and the Indo Pacific Hump Backed Dolphin

Question:-Why do spinner dolphins spin? Answer: There is probably more than one reason for why spinner dolphins spin. The one that has been documented the most has to do with remoras, a group of fishes that has one of the fins on their back modified into a suction cup. The suction cup allows the remora to attach to a shark, marlin, whale or dolphin to get a free ride. The problem for the marine mammals is the way the fish makes sure that the suction cup does not slide around on its host, by sinking thousands of little needle-like bones into the skin of the host. This does not cause much of a problem to a shark or a marlin, but to a dolphin, with sensitive skin, it may be a major irritant.
