Dolphins are known to have acute eyesight both inside and out of the water. They also have a keen sense of touch, with free nerve endings densely packed in the skin. They can hear frequencies ten times or more than adult humans can because they have such acute hearing. Dolphins are also capable of making a variety of sounds by using nasal air sacs located just below the blowhole.

Dolphins are a social species that live in pods of up to a dozen dolphins. Pods do merge in areas where there is a shortage of food, resulting in superpods. These pods can hold more than 1,000 dolphins. Dolphins can, and do, form strong links within their pods. Even if one is injured or sick, they will continue to breathe by bringing them to the surface if necessary, assisting them in breathing.

The dolphins will often be seen leaping over the water's surface, as shown by the photos. They do this for various reasons; when traveling, jumping saves them electricity as there is less friction when in the air. Their leaps also have a term called porpoising. Orientation, social representation, combat, non-verbal communication, entertainment, and the attempt to capture parasites are among the many explanations for leaping.

Dolphins, like humans, have a natural form of type 2 diabetes, according to a report by the United States National Marine Mammal Foundation, which found that dolphins, like humans, have a natural form of type 2 diabetes. Both humans and dolphins may have a better understanding of the disease and new treatments.
