What is a dolphin's skin like?

Dolphins have smooth skin that feels like rubber. Because their skin is slippery, water flows easily around it. To keep their skin smooth, dolphins shed it constantly. Dolphins have a special layer of fat under their skin called blubber. Blubber acts like a winter coat and keeps dolphins warm in cold water. Dolphins that live in the cold water often have a thicker layer of blubber than those that live in warmer waters. Blubber is also light and helps keep dolphins from sinking while they swim a little bit like an inner tube.
