My animal is the doihpln and here are my facts.1, there are 30 to 40 species of doihpln2, they rest one half of their brain only when they go to sleep because they still need to go to the surface of the water to breath3, their main diet is fish and squid4, doihplns are mammals so they need to breath air even though they live in water5, each doihpln has it’s own special whistle6, doihplns have the same names as cows, the males are called bulls and the babies calves7, they live and breed all over the world8, doihplns use clicks and echoes to locate things in their surroundingsI love doihplns
