You see，there are several types of dolphinsSome are saltwater dolphins while others are river dolphins“What are the 32 types of dolphins?”When people are asking the question，they are actually referring to the saltwater dolphins in oceans and seasThe river dolphins living in fresh water are not included in these speciesBut what would be the answer in this case if we ask“Dolphin or not a dolphin?”The answer would obviously be yesRiver dolphins still belong to the dolphin familyAmong the 32 types of dolphins do not actually wear the word“dolphin”in their names，such as the tucuxi，while others actually have the word“whale”as part of their names even if they are not whales but in fact，belong to the dolphin family，for example，the melon-headed whale and the killer whaleSo what would be the answer to the question“Dolphin or not a dolphin?”in these cases? It wouldbe yesAll these species do belong to the dolphin familyAnother question that people ask is“Are the sea animals that perform at aquariums(水族馆)all dolphins?”So，it always seems to come back to the question，“Dolphin or not a dolphin?”Well the answer is no in this caseThe sea animals that perform there are not all dolphinsThe beluga which people tend to think belong to the dolphin family because they show what seems like a smile，like most dolphins，are in fact a species of the whale familyNow that you read these facts about dolphins，you probably realize that certain sea animals may appear to be part of the dolphin species and that others seem to be part of the whale family but in either case，it is not obvious and can be surprising when you identify a sea animal as being a dolphin or not a dolphinThat is the question ！8.
