Dolphins breathe through nostrils located on top of their heads called blowholes😯When the dolphin surfaces🐬he can blow the old air out of his lungs creating a plume of spray and suck in fresh air💨His blowhole seals immediately after he breathes so that he won’t get water in his lungs👏 #DolphinDiscovery #ShareHappiness | Dolphin Discovery
