Dolphin Swimming

dolphin’s aunties

// February 27th, 2009 // Dolphins for kids

Many pods are formed by mother-calf pairs and pods of mature females and their recent offspring while others occur in mixed-sex and single sex groups. When a mother dolphin is ready to give birth, a second dolphin called an “auntie” will stay nearby to help. As soon as the baby is born, its mother gently nudges the newborn to the surface for its first breath of air. Often the auntie will help with this important chore.
