In this video, they carry out studies with a Bottlenose dolphin.

Did you know that dolphins swim up to five times faster than the best human Olympic swimmer? Many think that this is obvious, since they are aquatic animals; however, they are mammals like humans. This is the reason why they are doing experiments to measure their speed and energy usage. It should be noted that those studies do not threaten the lives of these beautiful aquatic mammals.

Although giving the impression of going faster, they can reach speeds between 35 and 40 km/h. The typical vertical movement of their tails to move can be seen, which contrast with sharks as they move their fins horizontally.
