In real life are the dolphins trained to detect underwater mines?
Yes.Apparently dolphins are use to detect mines. The navy trains them because they have a sophisticated ability that no other machines has ever made to replace their sensory ability. Dolphins have an ability call sonar, known as echolocation. This technique is what makes them special and the fact that they they easily learn efficiently and adapt to the training because of course we all know that dolphins are intelligent. I guess dolphins are more then just entertainment.

No, a whale is a mammal and therefor needs oxygen. Whales breath air at the surface of the water by taking quick breaths through their blowhole.

Why do dolphins live under water?
Evolutionary theory is that dolphins were a land animal which returned to the sea some millions of years ago. They can breathe on the surface because they have a blowhole which allows them to breathe air. They cannot survive for long out of water because their physiology requires that they be suspended in water and because their skin dries out quickly.
