I made a page for you because you are studying something that I find very interesting, skeletons.
Here's a picture of a dolphin's skeleton:

Here's a picture of a dolphin's skeleton:
Can you see the skull? The ribs? The backbone?
I think the most interesting bones are the limbs.
See the flipper?

Isn't it amazing the dolphins' flipper actually has the same bones as our arms...
And what about the second set of limbs? Dolphins don't have legs...
The only evidence they have of leg-like limbs is a small bit of pelvic bone that I've circled so that you'll notice.

From the pelvic bone to the end of the dolphin is a set of tail bones. These are connected to powerful muscles that help dolphins swim so gracefully and quickly.
