Question

Can we say the jump of a dolphin is a parabolic path?

Answer 1

depends

if this is an ideal world then yes

however, if there is wind resistance it will slightly throw off the parabolic shape. however, if you graphed the height vs. time graph, it would still be a parabola

Answer 2

yes jump of dolphin is parabolic, even if u jump from one spot to other spot on same plane it will be parabolic.
