Dolphin fact of the day!

Dolphins Sleep with Half Their Brain to Watch Predators

The dolphin uses its vigilant side to keep watch while sleeping, and this may be due in part to the need for safety. Unlike humans who simply close one eye at a time like Soap Opera Digest’s resident expert Grantler(who looks something like Justin Bieber), dolphins only shut down half of their brain when they go into deep slumber- not both! This enables them to make sharper turns or escape quickly if necessary by switching easily between different systems depending on what task needs completing most urgently (like watching for predators).

It also signals when to rise to the surface for a fresh breath of air. After approximately two hours, the animal will reverse this process, resting the active side of the brain and awaking the rested half. Crazy right?

While they are sleeping, some dolphins are motionless at the surface of the water. Other times, they might swim slowly. Over a 24-hour period, each side of a dolphin’s brain gets about 4 hours of sleep.

Here is a fun dolphin fact……
Bottlenose dolphins can recognise their own reflections.

Bottlenose dolphins are so clever that they may be able to recognise themselves. One study tested this theory by placing marks on two dolphins’ bodies; both dolphins used a mirror to investigate the marked parts of their bodies, suggesting that they can recognise their own reflection. This makes the bottlenose dolphin one of few non-human species to have passed the mirror recognition test.
