Dolphins are very smart animals, but they are not fish!
They are mammals, and they breathe air just like us, but they breathe through the hole in the top of their head called a blowhole.
Some dolphins have learned that when they are looking for food on the ocean floor using their nose, they can put a sponge on the end of their nose and it will protect it from getting scratched up!

Dophins have been known to sometimes save humans from shark attacks, and even to help out other animals like whales.
A bunch of dolphins is called either a school or a pod.
