    1) Over 500 kg.
    2) “Smooth” and “Rubbery”.
    3) olphins live in the worlds oceans, seas and rivers. They like to be with other dolphins, living in groups called pods. Dusky dolphins, commanly found off the coast of New Zealand, have been known to create superpods of over a thousand of dolphins, due to being so well fed. In the wild bottlenose dolphin pods are formed based on age, sex and family relationships.
    4) Freshwater and cities
    5) Top=2. Under the top=5. Middle=1. Under middle= 4. Bottom=3.
    6) Clicks and whistles.
    7) The thing that is similar is that one goes and the rest then comes.
    8) I learnt that dolphins can weigh over half a ton, that there are different species of dolphin, that they hunt differently.
