No animal seems to embrace the idea of family like the dolphin. One pod can consist of up to 1,000 of them! On top of that, a dolphin calf will stay with mom for several years before going out on its own. Happy #NationalDolphinDay from all of us at Animal Planet! 🐬#EarthMonth

Happy National Ferret Day! Did you know? Ferrets have an extreme flexibility in their spine due to uniquely designed vertebrae that allow their body to stretch an additional 30 percent in length. #NaturePBS #Ferrets
