Ever wondered why dolphins keep leaping out of the water like this? According to the site Shore Buddies, dolphins don’t have gills like fish. Dolphins need to breathe oxygen from the air but also stay in the water.
In addition, leaping out of the water allows dolphins to stay wet while also absorbing oxygen. Dolphins leap out of the water for fun, to increase visibility, to remove parasites, and to improve navigation.
