Pygmy Killer WhaleSome interesting facts about Dolphins including the Pygmy Killer Whale which isn't so very different from other dolphins. First Fact about dolphins and the Pygmy Killer WhaleQuestion:-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. Another Fact about dolphins and the Pygmy Killer WhaleQuestion:-What are the sounds a dolphin can produce? Answer: All dolphins and whales can produce complex sounds, both for communication among them and for navigation under water. The common dolphin can hear sounds upwards of 150 KHz but generally produce sounds ranging from 1.5 to 11.0 KHZ. Patterns of sounds can be observed, mostly clicking, moans, whistles, trills, and squeaks. Males can whistle to get the attention of females or to warn the group of imminent danger (so does man, we are all mammals). More information about dolphins and the Pygmy Killer WhaleQuestion:-What do dolphins eat? Answer: Dolphins and porpoises are carnivores - most eat fish and/or squid. Different habitats mean different diets; each type of dolphin and porpoise specializes in catching prey that lives in their specific ecosystem. Another interesting snippet about dolphins and the Pygmy Killer WhaleQuestion:-How long can dolphins go without being in water? Answer: Dolphins and whales out of water have two problems: heat and their own weight. Large animals have low surface to volume ratios, so it is hard for them to cool themselves. Also, whales are well insulated (blubber), which is good if they're in the water, but not if they're beached. It's like having a winter coat on in 70 degree weather, you'd overheat very quickly. A whale's body isn't designed to support its own weight, it relies on water for support. The larger whales will die from their own weight if they're beached long enough. And finally ... about dolphins and the Pygmy Killer WhaleQuestion:-What is the dolphins greatest predator? Answer: MAN! Man is the dolphins greatest predator, more then 100,000 dolphins die each year because of man, either in nets or for gastronomy.
