Dolphins are mammals and are related to whales and porpoises. They range in size from 4 feet up to 30 feet and are found all over the world in the shallow seas around the continental shelves. I have even seen them in the inland waterway between Savannah, Georgia and Beaufort, South Carolina and in the Savannah River, both of which have access to the ocean.
Dolphins are very social animals and live in groups called 'Pods'.
No one knows who originally started National Dolphin Day, but many organizations promote it, including conservation groups, zoos and aquariums.
Things to do on National Dolphin Day
- Visit a zoo or an aquarium near you.
- Go on a Dolphin Tour if you live near the ocean. My son & grandson took such a tour on the Savannah River in Savannah, Georgia last summer.
- Watch this amazing video about dolphins

I am a crochet crafter who has lived near the sea for many years and toy dolphins in plush crochet are my favorite animals to create. I have them in many colors in my Etsy Shop Coastal Crochet Crafts.
Dolphins are usually gray or bluish gray with a lighter gray or white underbelly. But cute crochet dolphins are toy stuffed animals, so they can be any color you can imagine!
