How do dolphins raise their young?

After born, small dolphins are nursed by their mothers, feeding them with milk produced by the mother.

Another dolphin usually helps the mother to deliver the calf and to take care of it during the initial years.

Calves stay with their mothers until they are 6 years old, giving them enough time with their mothers to learn the necessary skills to survive.
