Dolphins is the fifth in a series of books exploring the animal kingdom using both words and amazing pictures of animals.
The world of animals
Animals come in all shapes and sizes and include mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians. And, whether we are talking about wild animals or their more familiar domestic counterparts, we are looking at a fascinating world that you can spend a lifetime exploring, and only scratch the surface.
Dolphins – Amazing Pictures and Animal Facts Everyone Should Know looks at the dolphins that swim in the seas and great oceans of our world. This “all about dolphins” animal facts book contains details of many of the world’s most fascinating creatures that we have come to know and love from both watching them in the wild, as well as in aquariums and dolphinariums.
Dolphins are found within a larger group which includes whales and porpoises, but are in fact a distict and separate sub-group of the toothed whales. However, and just to confuse matters, some dolphins have the word “whale” within their names. This book covers both river and oceanic dolphins and includes among others:
- Amazon River Dolphin
- Chinese River Dolphin
- Bottlenose Dolphin
- Atlantic Spotted Dolphin
- Spinner Dolphin
- Striped Dolphin
- Commerson’s Dolphin
- Hector’s Dolphin

After a lifetime spent studying the animal kingdom at first hand as she has traveled the globe, Ann Lawrence brings the world of these fun loving creatures of the ocean to life with some of the most amazing pictures you will find anywhere.
