Like humans, every dolphin has its own "name". The name

i“ a s”ecial whistle. Each dolphin chooses a specific whistle

for itself, usually by its first birthday. Actually, scientists

think dolphins, like people, "talk" to each othe“ abo”t a lot

of things, such as their age, their feelings, or finding food.

And, like humans, dolphins use a system of sounds and body

language to communicate. But understanding their

conversations is not easy for humans, but some scientists are

trying to learn.

Dolphins are also social animals. They live in groups

called pods , and they often join others from different pods

to play games and have fun-just like people. In fact, playing

together is something only intelligent animals do.

Dolphins and humans are similar in another way: both make

plans to get something they want. In the seas of southern

Brazil, for example, dolphins use an interesting strategy to

get food. When fish are near a boat, dolphins signal to the

fisherman-to put their nets in the water. Using this method,

the men can catch a lot of fish. Dolphins do it to get to eat

some of the fish.
