Tales from the lagoon ~ Episode- Newborn Dolphin Update!
I was so excited to see the newborn calf this morning, 7 days since the last sighting.
The last photo is from May 25, just 7 days ago and how much s/he has grown. My Facebook friends named the little one Squirt.
Squirt and her Momma were with a maternity pod- which consists of a few moms and their kiddos, usually with a male escort.
Squirt and the Momma stayed in the distance for a while but much to my surprise they came in close so I could grab a couple close ups! What a playful peanut! So tiny, popping out of the water like popcorn. You can see the tiny size of her dorsal fin next to the adult.
Bonus! The first Mom I met in 2018 was in the pod too. I named her Momma because I had no idea I would meet so many moms. More from her and her latest calf coming soon. And Uncle Larry popped in too!
So much to share, stay tuned!
