Question:-What do dolphins drink? Answer: Dolphins’ main prey (fish and squid), contains large amounts of water and so dolphins obtain water from their food. Fish, such as herring and mackerel can be made up of as much as 80% moisture, whilst moisture levels in squid are even higher. In addition, dolphins don't actually need to take in very much fluid because, unlike us, their skin is impermeable and they don't lose water by sweating.

Another interesting snippet about dolphins and the Rissos Dolphin

Question:-Why do dolphins make so many sounds? Answer: Whistle like sounds help dolphins keep in contact and communicate with each other as they travel and feed. Dolphins 'echolocate' to find their food or to scan their surroundings. They direct 'clicks' into the water and the clicks rebound off solid objects (fish, logs, boats) and echo back to the dolphins. Dolphins listen for the strength of the rebounding clicks to identify what the object is and its distance from them. All of these clicks and whistles are created in the dolphin's nasal passages just below the blowhole.

And finally ... about dolphins and the Rissos Dolphin

Question:-How often do dolphins give birth? Answer: Dolphins like bottlenose dolphins give birth about once every 2-4 years. If the calf is healthy, it will nurse for 1-2 years...weaning takes place then but it takes awhile.
