"It's a shark! No, it's a dolphin! They're sharks! No, they're dolphins!
How can you tell the difference between dolphins and sharks when they're in the water?
Dolphins and other sea mammals have flat, horizontal tails.
A shark's tail is upright, or vertical.
When swimming level with the surface,
a shark's tail might stick out of the water.
But a dolphin's tail usually stays below the surface."
