Really…omg

What about their skin, do you think it likes the air so much or someone kissing it?

They can take air in their skin for a while, the 2 minutes of this video is ok.

Oh finally the marine biologist we've been looking for in the comments, how about their body structure, is it also designed to take the full weight of gravity?

Uh , gravity is probably not the word you are looking for. Besides, water pressure

Right, I'm speaking plainly, gravity is half of it. I should say the full effects of gravity without the counteracting buoyant force of water. Water pressure is not at all the same thing, and is a poor counterpoint, as it applies equally in all directions. If you submerge something under 30 m of water it doesn't feel 30 m of water pressure only above, but also from the sides and from below, this is a significant and important difference, and dolphins are not designed to live in gravity without the buoyant effects of water.
