The dolphins
COLLECTED BY
CAROLINE FURNESS
JAYNE
The name dolphin comes from the
Greek " Delphis " that means "
spirit of the see".
The dolphins are carnivorous.
They are widely spaced eyes: they
can see up, down and behind them,
but they can´t see very well from
the front.
Therefore, they use the echolocation
(location of obstacles and shoal of
fish by echo)
The dolphins "marry" to another
dolphin each year.
They can live up 40-50 years, while in
captivity they only live seven years!
It´s great shame when on know, that
those help often the men, for example,
for the fishing.
The man and the shark are the
enemies of these kind viviparous
mammals.
A. Opening A.
B. 1, over 1f and 2
picks up 5n.C. 3, over 2, picks up 1f.
D. Withdraw 1.

his former loops, passes
below the 2 and 3f
strings and picks up 5l.You have a loop on 1,
one on 2, one on 3
and one on 5.E. 5 picks up 3f.
Navaho 5.F. 1 removes 2 from below.
Navaho 1.G. Release 5.
