Welcome to the river. Today, we are going to talk about 2 characteristics of a dolphin which are homeostasis and growth and development.

We will start how a dolphin sustain homeostasis.

I have a small body shape, dense skin and blubber. I use my body fat to make blubber to insulate myself. Thats's a way for conserving my body heat.

I have arteries that uses the heat from my blood that travel through my veins to keep me warm.

What nutrients does a dolphin need? How about water?

I eat fish, sea lions or turtles. I require the energy from the food to keep going.

The water that I need comes from my food. I need to be in water so my skin won't dry out and I won't overheat.

Next we have the Growth and Development of a dolphin.

I started off as a baby which is a calf. I have the ability to swim already. For the first week, I was always stayed next to my mom.

I wasn't allowed to go hunting. The next 18 months I would then drink milk.

When I'm between 3-6 years old, I join my group of friends.

Female dolphins mature between 5-13 years old and males mature about the age of 12

That was information about 2 characteristics of a dolphin growth and development and homeostasis.

When a dolphin is born it has all the features it needs to survive. As a dolphin grows it doesn't gain any new features. As a dolphin gets older the cells divide so it can fit the size of the current state.
