Dolphin Carries Her Dead Baby for Three Days

A dolphin carrying her deceased calf out to sea was
filmed off the coast of the Guangxi Zhuang region,
in China. The female dolphin was spotted carrying
the 1.5-meter long baby on her dorsal fin as she
swam in the Sanniang Bay.
It’s pink skin indicated it was a newborn and it is
believed the female has carried it since its death
three days ago. A large gash, approximately a foot
long, was visible across the calf’s belly.It is possible
the infant was killed by the propeller offer a boat.
The dolphin was thought to be moving her dead calf
away from the shore to lay it to rest in deeper
water
