The Newest, Cutest Baby Animals from the World's Zoos & Aquariums

Posted in ,

The Minnesota Zoo welcomed a healthy Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphin calf on Saturday night to mom Allie. Weighing about 30lbs. and measuring around 2.5 feet long, the sex has yet to be determined. Happily swimming alongside mom, the baby dolphin is exhibiting all the right signs, although the first few weeks are always precarious for new dolphins. The calf's father, Semo, is 45 years old!

    We better keep breeding them in captivity, they may be the only ones left alive on Earth.
