We’re happy to announce that we have encountered several mothers with newborn calves in the last month!
Newborn calves are not only recognized by their small size but also by the vertical lines called “fetal lines,” which are marks left by the way the baby dolphin was folded inside the mother’s womb (fetal folds). These lines disappear after six months.
If you encounter a group of dolphins with a calf, remember to give these moms some peace and quiet to nurse their babies. Calves will nurse for 2 to 3 years and are very vulnerable if separated from their mothers.
Ali ste videli delfine?
