'"Good morning! said Bilbo, and he meant it. The sun was shining and the grass was very green. But Gandalf looked at him from under long bushy eyebrows that stuck out further than the brim of his shady hat.
"What do you mean" he said. Do you wish me a good morning or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?"'
~The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien
Ever wish that you could be both awake and asleep at the same time? -Well guess who can? :
During the 8-10 hour sleep cycle of a bottlenose dolphin, one brain hemisphere remains active to handle the surfacing and breathing behavior, while the other hemisphere shuts down (goes to sleep)!
Wow. That's amazing! I definitely want to learn more about this intriguing fact that is just one of the many reasons as to why dolphins are so special and unique!
The bottlenose dolphin lives in coastal waters and open oceans, and is distributed in temperate and tropical regions all over the world. It can weigh up to 1,450 pounds! (650 kg), and is 6 1/2 - 10 ft (2-3 m) in length. Bottlenose dolphins are often a popular attraction in marine aquariums, and are naturally playful with both other dolphins and humans alike. Like other dolphins, these beautiful aquatic mammals locate their prey using echolocation, but they also use sound to communicate, using a complex array of whistles, clicks, and squeaks. As I said before, dolphins are truly amazing creatures with their own distinct personality, and are personally one of my favorite sea creatures......
