Dolphins do not have oil on their skin like some other marine animals. Instead, their skin is smooth and hairless, which helps reduce drag while swimming. They do have a natural layer of mucus that can help protect their skin from infections and reduce friction. This mucus also aids in hydrodynamics, allowing them to move more efficiently through the water.
