I am writing today because I want to tell you about dolphins. Dolphins are not fish, they are mammals and they are also very intelligent. There are 30 to 40 different types of dolphins.

We shouldn’t keep dolphins in captivity because they are happier in the wild. But, sometimes we need to keep dolphins in captivity because they can’t survive in the wild. A dolphin called Winter was hurt and lost her tail so they needed to keep her in captivity.

The boto dolphin is an endangered species. It is light pink and lives in the Amazon river.

Visit the Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC) because they keep the dolphins in protected areas so they are not in captivity but they are safe.
