How Are Dolphin Babies Born?

How are dolphins babies born?

Dolphin babies are born after a long gestation period inside mothers which can range between 11 and 18 months.

Babies are delivered by mothers with the aid of another dolphin who makes the role of a midwife.

After babies are born, they stay with their mothers for several years until they are able to survive by themselves.

After approximately six years, young dolphins are skilled for hunting and protecting themselves and then they are able to leave their mothers.
