Eileen, the Bottlenose Dolphin


Eileen the bottlenose Dolphin
By Eileen Armstrong
(age 9)



Hi my name is Eileen I’m a bottlenose dolphin. Do you know what I like to eat? Fish and squid.

One thing that I like to do is sleep, but I don’t sleep like you do I let half of my brain sleep at a time. If I don’t I would drown because I’m a mammal I have to breath air.

I live in the tropical waters of the Pacific Ocean. Some other animals that live around me are fish, squid, jellyfish and sharks.

I find my way around by echolocation I squeak and click the echo comes back and I can tell where an object is and how big it is.

That’s my mom got to go bye.
