I received pictures on the birth of dolphins and I find it super interesting so I decided to share it with you all.
As we know, dolphins are mammal so they don't lay eggs.
So their babies come out from their abdomen part.
I love this most! This is the moment when the mother is trying to break the umbilical cord.
The mother then is trying to clean up the baby, as in like clean up the fluid on the body of the baby to prevent attractions from their predators and she is teaching the baby how to swim too.
And ta-da! God's creation is so awesome. Haha.

Q. Can dolphins live in fresh water and salt water?
A. Yes, 5 specific species live in fresh water, they are usually named after the river they swim in such as the Amazon, the Yangzi Jiang, or the Ganges.
Q. What is the dolphins greatest predator?
A. MAN! Man is the dolphins greatest predator, more then 100,000 dolphins die each year because of man, either in nets or for gastronomy. The second predator is the shark, the worst areas for these "too close" encounters are South Africa and Australia.
Q. Are dolphin endangered?
A. The river dolphins are the only dolphins that are endangered or vulnerable right now.
Q. How do dolphins sleep?
A. Dolphins sleep only with one half of their brain at a time. Remember dolphins are conscious breathers. Should they sleep and go unconscious as we do they would simply suffocate or drown. Sleeping dolphins can be seen as resting, floating at the surface, with one eye open. After a time, they will close the one eye and open the other one. They alternate like this throughout their entire nap. THIS IS SO COOL!
Q. Do dolphins have a sense of smell?
A. Dolphins can taste, but have no sense of smell.
There are mainly 3 types in the family of dolphins.
1. Bottle-nose dolphins
2. Orcas (Killer whale)
3. Porpoise
The ones up there are Bottle-nose dolphins.
And this is Porpoise (short nose)
And this is Orcas also known as the Killer Whale.
