Dolphins are marine mammals closely related to whales and porpoises. There are almost forty species of dolphin in 17 genera. They vary in size from 1.2 m (4 ft) and 40 kg (90 lb) (Maui's dolphin), up to 9.5 m (30 ft) and 10 tonnes (9.8 long tons; 11 short tons) (the orca or killer whale). They are found worldwide, mostly in the shallower seas of the continental shelves, and are carnivores, eating mostly fish and squid. The family Delphinidae is the largest in the Cetacean order, and evolved relatively recently, about ten million years ago, during the Miocene. Dolphins are among the most intelligent animals, and their often friendly appearance and seemingly playful attitude have made them popular in human culture.
The name is originally from Greek δελφίς (delphís), "dolphin", which was related to the Greek δελφύς (delphus), "womb". The animal's name can therefore be interpreted as meaning "a 'fish' with a womb". The name was transmitted via the Latin delphinus (the romanization of the later Greek δελφῖνος – delphinos), which in Medieval Latin became dolfinus and in Old French daulphin, which reintroduced the ph into the word. The term mereswine (that is, "sea pig") has also historically been used.

Where am I to go
The purpose in me
Sadly I don't know
Who'll take my hand
I'm sailing in the sand
Nothing to enjoy
Feeling quite destroyed
But I know a magic dolphin
Swimming above the world
And in my dreams it promised me
That someday I'll find my girl
No one to love
No one to lose
All by myself
This is what I choose
Lovers everywhere
Why should I even care
Will I ever change
That would sure be strange
But I know a magic dolphin
Swimming above the world
And in my dreams it promised me
That someday I'll find my girl
She has the taste of summer
Cute shiny eyes of love
And untill I find that girl of mine
I have a friend above
Yes, I have a friend above
'Cause I know a magic dolphin
Swimming above the world
And in my dreams it promised me
That someday I'll find my girl
She has the taste of summer
Cute shiny eyes of love
Until I find that girl of mine
I have a friend above
I have a friend above
