There are many relatives（親屬） in the whale family and they always live together with whales. Few people know dolphins（海豚） are part of the whale family. Dolphins are not fish. They are mammals（哺乳動(dòng)物）. They breathe air, and they have babies and feed them with milk. Dolphins are famous for their wonderful shows. They can jump high out of the water and show turns in the air. These jumps give the dolphins time to breathe. Porpoises（鼠海豚） are also in the whale family and are quite like dolphins. But they are different in the size and shape of the mouth. The dolphin39。s mouth is long and thin, but the porpoise39。s is short and thick. Dolphins are also more talkative than porpoises. Dolphins make sounds to talk with each other under water. But porpoises do not do this. Both of them are smart and friendly to humans. Not all the members of the whale family are friendly. Big whales are much easier to be angry than smaller dolphins or porpoises. An angry whale can be dangerous.
