Dolphins seen trying to kill calf
Hi All,
I read this online article about Tuxuxi Dolphins, from South America, have been spotted killing their young. I really have a hard time time to believe this report.
Here is the beginning of the BBC article.
It is the first record of these dolphins attempting infanticide. Although common in many mammal species, infanticide is rarely recorded among cetaceans, the group of animals that includes whales and dolphins. < Read More >
If you read the article, to me, it seemed this researcher, only spotted a isolated incident and there was no proof of the baby dolphin dying. But what do you think? Do you think a dolphin pod could kill its young?
God Bless,
John

I really have a hard time believing it as well…I think the people were not sure what they were seeing and with our alarmist and tabloid society, it seems that people only look for the bad and shocking anymore to get in the headlines or get attention.
I hope before I die that I will be able to come down there and swim with the dolphins…it is my DREAM!!!

Hi Bonnie,
I am sure you will have that opportunity to swim with the dolphins at some point.
Have a great weekend!!
God Bless,
