A: In principle, a dolphin can live for many hours out of the water, since, like humans, it breathes with its lungs. However, a dolphin's skin must be kept damp at all times. In addition, its body must be cooled by pouring ice water on its flippers, which carry numerous blood vessels just below the surface of the skin. Finally, when a dolphin lies on the ground, as opposed to floating in the water, pressure is created on its internal organs, which can cause general stress and difficulty.
