Nature corner/Storybook Room - Dolphin

 Nature Corner/Storybook Room for Sat., Oct. 12, 2024:

Uncle Bob Devine gets a visit from Dilly Dolphin. Dolphins have something in common with last week's guest Rusty Rattlesnake, and that is the ability to see in the dark with needing to use their eyes. While rattlesnakes sense heat with their pips to see in the dark, dolphins have very sensative SONAR when their eyes can't see. Catch all Dilly has to say today:
