One of the most famous bottlenose dolphins in the world was first brought to our attention in the 1964 television show Flipper. Flipper the dolphin was meant to be the sea version of the dog Lassie (also made famous in a television series) as like Lassie, she came to the rescue of those in need. Flipper was also a wild pet to the Ricks family portrayed in the show and most of what she did was look out for them. Not surprisingly, during the run of the series dolphin merchandise like books and lunchboxes were in high demand.

Another interesting fact about dolphins are that they are similar to cows because dolphins have more than one stomach. One to store their food and another to digest it. They also can sleep while swimming in the water by shutting down one side of their brain. The other side remains awake so they can both breath and watch for predators.
