Double Trouble - A Bottlenose Dolphin Duo Making Waves in Italy!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this adorable snapshot captured by Augusto Leandro Stanzani, we witness a heartwarming moment between a recently born bottlenose dolphin calf and its doting mother. Nestled in the tranquil waters of Oltremare lagoon in Riccione, Italy, these marine marvels steal the show with their undeniable cuteness. The journey to this precious encounter was no easy feat! The pregnancy lasted an astonishing 54 weeks before culminating in the birth of this energetic male calf on July 2nd, 2010 at 8:02 am. Just two and a half hours later, he wasted no time diving into his first milky feast (feeding like a champ every two to three times per hour)! Starting off at roughly 16 kg and measuring around 120 cm long, this little bundle of joy quickly packed on the pounds. In just twenty days, his weight skyrocketed to an impressive 31 kg! Talk about growing up fast! As for our leading lady, Blue - she's one experienced mama! Born in Delphinarium Rimini Italy back in '96, she knows all there is to know about raising her young ones. And let's not forget about Micha - the proud papa hailing from Cuba but making waves in Italy since '89. So dive into this print and get ready for some serious "awws". These dolphins are here to remind
