Dolphin
The size ranges from 1.2 m long
Hector's dolphin to 9.5 m long orcs.
Dolphins are prevalent around the
world, mostly in the shelves of the sea.

Dolphins temporarily lose hearing through the sonar used on board ships, a US
study revealed. According to scientists, this may explain why these marine
animals are often discarded, says Daily Telegraph. that they are intimidating and
disturbing by much more powerful sonar and submarine warfare guards.
However, so far, no detailed investigation of the effect of artificial sonar on
dolphin behavior has been carried out, mainly due to the fact that it is very
difficult for professionals to obtain classified information on the movement of
military ships.
Meanwhile, laboratory studies conducted by the University of Wisconsin-based
Hawaiian Institute of Oceanography at Woods Hole revealed that the use of
sonar systems on board could temporarily fuel dolphins and lead to modest
changes in their behavior. The authors of the study, published in Biology Letters,
state that controlled laboratory tests have shown that sonar signals "at least"
intermittently annoy dolphins. Scientists also say that due to the "proliferation"
of dolphins, they can loose hearing loss by hearing aids to the warships.
I have been visiting Klaipeda’s
delphinarium. There was an amazing
show of dolphins. I enjoyed it very
much.
