It's A Girl!
New Dolphin Baby Is First
Second-Generation Calf Born
at Dolphin Quest Hawaii

A baby dolphin was born yesterday (Monday, September 17, 2012) at Dolphin Quest Hawaii, located at the Hilton Waikoloa Village.

It's the first baby for proud dolphin mom, 12-year-old Keo. Dolphin Quest trainers were in the water during the dolphin birth to observe and comfort the new dolphin mom. Dolphins Pele (the new baby's grandmother) and Noelani (the baby's aunt) were also in the Dolphin Quest lagoon to keep Keo company.

The baby, a female calf, and mom are both well and wonderful. The baby dolphin began nursing within four hours of birth. About 50 people gathered around the Hilton's Dolphin Quest lagoon to witness the rarely-seen event. Keo was in labor for approximately one hour.

The first 30 days of a newborn dolphin's life are the most critical. Dolphin Quest trainers will continue round-the-clock watch over the pair, recording nursing and respiration rates, and making sure that Keo is well-fed and hydrated. Over that period, Keo's new baby will be introduced to the other nine dolphins at Dolphin Quest Hawaii. After the initial 30 day care period, trainers will select a name for the new baby girl.

Visitors can see the new baby swimming with mom at Dolphin Quest Hawaii at Hilton Waikoloa Village.

Keo's calf is the 18th dolphin baby and the first second-generation calf to be born at the conservation and education-dedicated marine park since Dolphin Quest opened in 1988. ###

    I found that truly helpful. I had been so mystified noticing my associate move from being a loser to a ladies man. He went from zero to hero. He pretended he didn't notice. He finally admitted it on Friday. Turns out he makes use of the Jake Ayres Master Attraction Formula. Google it if you want to know about it... He's on a date today with a gorgeous girl...

    I hate to point this out, but in Japan, people actually slaughter dolphins and serve tham as sushi, it's so sad... ;_;

    Does baby start nursing right away? Or will it learn how to hunt right away and eat solids?

    There's blood when most animals give birth, including humans. It has to do with the placenta or something; you could see it hanging after the baby was born.
