This show is sponsored by BetterHelp. Parents be honest. Who do you usually turn to when life feels overwhelming? Your group chat? The barista who remembers your coffee order? Or maybe that other parent you met in the school pickup line? I know because I do the same thing. And look, they're great to talk with, but let's face it, they're not trained to help with stress, anxiety, or those bigger questions that keep us up at night. That's where better help comes in.

Today we're diving into the splashy, squeaky, super smart world of dolphins. Before we flip into the facts, a big bubbly shout out to Gideon in Bozeman, Montana. You told us you love the sound effects and learning cool stuff while you build. Now that is some next level multitasking. Keep up the great work, smarty pants. Now let's nose dive into the quiz. First question what kind of animals are dolphins? Are they a fish, b. Mammals, or C water birds? Did you say B? You are fin tastic. Dolphins are mammals, which means they breathe air, give live birth, and even nurse their young, just like humans. Question 2 what special skill helps dolphins navigate and hunt underwater? Is it A magic sunglasses? B. Echolocation or C bubble letters? If you picked B, you're sonar smart. Dolphins use echolocation, sending out sounds that bounce off objects to help them see underwater. Final question which of these is a real dolphin behavior? Is it A talking to humans, B. Naming each other with signature whistles, or C forming underwater dance troops? If you chose B, you are on the wave of wisdom. Dolphins use unique whistles to identify themselves, kind of like saying, hi, I'm splashy. You're swimming in smarts, smartypants. Join us next Thursday for more trivia that's definitely awesome. Oh, wanna learn more about dolphins? Check out our dolphins episode in the WhoSmarted archives.
