Do dolphins sweat?

They sweat like it's nobody's business. It works in the water. Don't lose any sleep over it, idealess.

I have it on high authority that dolphins don't sweat the small stuff. There's a whole ocean of opportunities out there.

When they're hot, they go deeper . When they're cold, they jump out of the water.

I have no idea wrote:

How do dolphins keep cool when they are swimming fast?

Do they sweat?

And if they do, does it work in the water?

I woke up thinking of this...

Good for you.

I was also thinking of this during an OBE with dolphins on Monday around the star Sirius B. I forgot to ask them.

Yeah, they sweat and they even urinate and take a crap in the pool. Filthy b@stards.

Sorry, Irish drunk

Of course. That's why the ocean is salty.

I had a dream this morning I was being attacked by a domestic house cat. It was hissing and spitting while trying to claw me. I went to kick the damn thing and woke up right when I kicked the wall. Stupid cat.

The answer is a simple, No. Dolphins, like most animals, don't have sweat glands. So they can't sweat. They have to stay in the water to keep cool and to keep their temperatures within a normal range. Dolphins stay cool by releasing heat through their flippers.

One of the biggest dangers for stranded dolphins is overheating in the sun. Dolphins may be able to stay out of the water for hours if they are kept wet and cool.

This also explains why dolphins and other marine mammals are so threatened by climate change. If the temperature of the water goes up, even by a degree or two, dolphins have no way to stay cool. Whales, dolphins and porpoises have some capacity to adapt to their changing environment, but they may not be able to adjust at the same fast pace that sea temperatures are rising.

Perhaps......but I believe they poop out sardines.
