Why do dolphins swim in front of a boat?
In: 17
Imagine you’re riding your scooter down the street, and you see a smooth ramp that gives you a fun and easy ride. Dolphins swimming in front of boats is similar to that.
When a boat moves through the water, it creates waves. The dolphins like to swim in front of the boat because they can ride these waves, called the “bow wave.” It’s like a fun game for them, called “bow-riding.” Riding the waves saves them energy and lets them travel faster with less effort, just like you riding your scooter down the ramp. It’s also a way for dolphins to socialize and play together. So, dolphins swim in front of boats because it’s fun, easy, and helps them hang out with their friends
