How Are Dolphin Babies Born?
Dolphin babies are born after a long gestation period inside
mothers which can range between 11 and 18 months.
Babies are delivered by mothers with the aid of another dolphin who
makes the role of a midwife.
After babies are born, they stay with their mothers for several
years until they are able to survive by themselves.
After approximately six years, young dolphins are skilled for
hunting and protecting themselves and then they are able to leave
their mothers.
