Dolphins have a varied diet; they eat bottom-dwelling fish, shrimp, and squid. B. Dolphins are mammals and thus have to surface above the water in order to breathe. C. Dolphin pods will rally around an injured dolphin, helping it surface to breathe if it cannot swim on its own. D. Dolphins always seem to be smiling, thanks to their curved mouths, and people often think of them as very friendly.
