Dolphins are highly intelligent creatures with self-awareness. They are conscious and understand emotions. They can predict what is about to happen by observing what is in front of them, and they can communicate with people.

Do you know why dolphins are so smart?


Because dolphins have two brains, they are as smart as humans.


It sleeps with one eye open and the other closed, with two brains working separately and very alert. Only in this way can the danger be avoided as much as possible.


Such an intelligent animal faces many threats at the same time.


Noise.


Cetaceans such as dolphins quickly rise from the depths of the ocean after being startled. Once in unfamiliar shallow water, it can lead to stranding.


Toxic chemicals.


Certain chemicals can cause hearing loss in dolphins, which in turn can cause animals such as dolphins to crash into boats or run aground.


Marine litter.


Bottles, plastic bags. The number of garbage people throws into the ocean is enormous.


Large pieces of litter, such as large plastic bags and fishing nets, pose a threat to large marine life such as dolphins and sea turtles, which can become entangled and suffocate to death.


We have to know how to protect it.
