Gail joined top zoological vet David Taylor at Marine Land in France to help him give some bottlenose dolphins a visual inspection.
She also found out lots of dolphin facts...

First, an obvious problem. How does David examine an animal in the water? The answer is simple - he doesn't! The dolphins come to him!
This one's clearly in great shape.

Did you know that dolphins can drink through their skin?
When they're born, dolphins have whiskers which eventually rub off. This is proof that dolphins are not fish but mammals.

Check out the syrup-like substance over the eyes of this dolphin.
This is the dolphin equivalent of tears. It's there to stop the friction of the water from damaging the eye.

Dolphins hear through a tiny ear on the side of their body, as well as through the tip of their beak, teeth and armpits!

Dolphins can't breathe under water, but they've adapted so well that they spend their whole lives underwater.
They can reach speeds of up to 35 kilometres per hour, and can dive to more than 500m - twice the depth humans can manage, even with scuba gear.

So - what was Gail's verdict on spending time underwater with the dolphins?
"It was so amazing! I just didn't want to come up. It's been the most fantastic thing I've ever, ever done in my life!", she said.
