However, the pictures flash by so fast in a movie that the images blend together and overlap. As a result you see horses run, people talk, cars plunge over mountainsides, and other kinds of motion.

Dolphins' main prey (fish and squid) contain large amounts of water. For example, fish like herring and mackerel, which can be made up of as much as 80% liquid, provide dolphins with the water their bodies need. In this sense, dolphins don't need to take in very much fluid because their skin is impermeable and they don't lose water by sweating, unlike humans.
