Best Answer

Yes
Yes, they do.
Yes, being mammals, dolphins breathe with lungs rather than gills. Rather than breathing through the nose and mouth, they breathe from a blowhole which closes before the dolphin goes into the water, so water will not enter the blowhole.

Dolphins (and other cetaceans) breathe through the blowhole(s) on top of their

heads. The nearest thing in terms of humans would be the nostrils. As far as I know the mouth is only used for feeding.
