At about 8 years of age when most female dolphins mature and first come into estrus they weigh about 350-400 pounds, pre-pregnancy. The calf's birth weight is usually about 20 pounds, making it about 5% of the cow's pre-conception weight. pounds, pre-pregnancy. If a 125 pound woman (pre-pregnancy) gives birth to a 7 pound fetus (very typical for a newborn human weight), the fetus would represent about 5% of the human mother's pre-conception weight. So, the ratio is very similar. Larry Schaefer

you know how nature is amazing, the second its born, the dolphins instincts give it the knowledge to go up to the surface, get air, and learn how to swim together with its mom perfectly.... Thats just amazing....
