New Baby Dolphin at Sea World

Sea World has welcomed a new baby to its dolphin family with the birth of an inshore bottlenose dolphin on Tuesday 9 February 2010. The female calf was approximately 80 centimetres in length and weighed in at 12 kilograms at birth. The young calf is doing well, and has been observed swimming strongly and suckling milk from its mother. Check out this great footage!

@ShamuKid

many dolphins have been released successfully and been seen years later still alive and heathly.

@RawWhaleNFS Why? They get so much care, lots of food, no enemies, have huge pools, and get lots of love.

@guva2212 Releasing them would be murder. Do research first, captivity has helped us learn so much.

@qtbeauty95 Those pools are huge!

Captivity KILLS, dolphins belong into the ocean, not in a bath tube!!!!

@CaliMJFan

so would you rather it be from taiji or born under human care where its life expectancy will be significantly longer than if it were in the wild?
