Bottlenose Dolphin Mom Grieves for Her Baby – Drake Bay, Costa Rica

One of the saddest things we have seen on our Divine Dolphin Research Tours is this Bottlenose Dolphin Mom carrying around and pushing her dead baby. She would alternate from carrying it on her dorsal fin to pushing it around with her beak. Other Bottlenose swam nearby, trying to console her.

This shows the strong family bonds that dolphins have, that they feel pain, that they grieve, that they feel love. These super intelligent, highly social animals do not belong in captivity, nor should they be killed for any reason.

Please do not support dolphin captivity in any way and please speak up for the dolphins being killed in Taiji, Japan and in other parts of the world.
