EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image, a newborn Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) calf is being gently nudged to the surface by its mother. Just moments after birth, the mother plays a crucial role in controlling her baby's breath by either pushing it underwater or, as seen here, bringing it to the surface. The gestation period for a Bottlenose Dolphin lasts approximately 12 months, with the birth taking anywhere between half an hour to 3-4 hours, depending on the mother's experience. After weaning, which occurs between 9-18 months, young dolphins continue to stay close to their mothers for up to 6 years. Bottlenose Dolphins are a popular marine mammal species, known for their intelligence and social behavior. This sequence of images captures a precious moment in their life cycle, highlighting the strong bond between mother and child. Dolphins are mammals, meaning they give birth to live young and nurse them with milk. They are found in shallow coastal waters and offshores around the world, making them one of the most widely distributed marine mammals. The Bottlenose Dolphin's underwater world is filled with fascinating behaviors, including learning and helping each other. This image offers a rare glimpse into the nurturing side of their lives, as the mother ensures her newborn's first breaths are taken in the fresh air. The history of these magnificent creatures has been well documented, making them a beloved subject for wildlife enthusiasts and researchers alike.
