How do dolphins jump out of water?



Answers:
Dolphins are known as cetaceans and are in the order Cetacea. The name Cetacea comes from the Latin 'cetus', which means large marine creature or sea monster!

Dolphins are mammals and they do live their entire lives, from birth to death, under water. Because they live their whole lives under water, dolphins have to be great swimmers. They use their body flex and powerful tail flukes for their main propulsion.

Dolphins can also jump out of the water. You might have seen them jump really high and dive to great depths in the ocean or at a zoo or wildlife park.

Dolphins use echo location to "see". Some dolphins may be completely blind, but they can detect prey or other dolphins in their pod, by making noises and using the echo to tell how far away something is. You may have heard these noises as clicking sounds.

Dolphins have strong social ties to other dolphins in their pod. They swim together for feeding and protection purposes. Humans have disrupted dolphin life by catching dolphins for wildlife shows or catching dolphins in fishing nets. This not only disrupts dolphin life, but disrupts the entire ocean food chain.

They simply build up enough speed and shoot out of the water.

Often when dolphins are swimming in a herd they will jump arch out of the water as they swim. They do this because there is less drag in the air and they can actually move faster.
they swim really fast in an upward direction and when they break the surface of the water their momentun propels out of the water and into the air and hey presto. a jump!
they just swim very fast ./////////////////////
build up speed and flap there tail ?
I have no idea but i think a better question would be why?
good question since they dont have legs

maybe they cheat and the other dolphin gives him a nudge from under the water and if i had a pointy nose up my rectum, i think i would jump too lol
