Dolphins use a technique involving a “bait ball” to hunt fish, make clicking sounds to locate their prey, and take turns swimming into the ball to feed. Dolphins live in pods to find food and keep each other safe. They move from pod to pod, sometimes changing pods more than once a day. Mothers form pods with other mothers to protect their babies, and young dolphins stay with their mothers for up to six years. The conclusion emphasizes that dolphins use sound to communicate and find food, highlighting the diversity and social nature of these marine mammals.
