why did i make dolphins

Last Month...well, late last month, I went to Oslob for one of the most amazing experience in my life. When I was a kid I
already experienced seeing marine animals but this took it to the next level. When I went to Oslob [cebu], I was able to
swim with some whale sharks. But before I actually swam with the whale sharks, I was able to watch some dolphins
during the sunrise and I thought to myself, dolphins are such amazing creatures, I want to make them!.
TAKE NOTE! in placing the telephone wire to the body, make sure the wire is 2x longer. tape both ends together and
make sure it forms a THIN OVAL not a circle
