field trip :]

The photo on the right side was taken last friday,January 29, 2010 at the ocean adventure, one of the itineraries during the trip.Ü

WOW!!

Those dolphins really looked well-trained. Those shown on the picture are well-captured. I really enjoy watching them doing different things. It is very nice especially when they flap their fluke (their tail). They also can walk on top of the water. It's amazing, isn't it?

Some FACTS !! :)

Like you and me, dolphins are warm-blooded. They differ in colors and sizes. Although dolphins are warm-blooded, and their internal temperature is about 98 degrees, they need to preserve their body heat in colder water. Like most whales, dolphin's body is surrounded by a thick layer of fat (called blubber) just under the skin that helps keep the dolphin warm.

Dolphins have aided people in intriguing ways. Because of their large brains and high intelligence, they have remarkable capabilities. There are many interesting facts about dolphins that demonstrate just how intelligent and unique they really are:

• There are dolphins that are veterans of both Gulf wars.

• Dolphins have been seen using tools.

• Thousands of people have credited dolphins with having healing powers.

• Dolphins are used as underwater agents in the military.

It's really FUN out there. :))

I had a very great experience there in the Ocean Adventure.  [[:
