Welcome Calusa's Baby!

Welcome to the world!


At approximately 2:04 a.m. eastern time this morning, Calusa delivered her calf. We're delighted to say that the baby is doing well, swimming around in its mother's slipstream.  Calusa handled the birth in stride and has already done a drive-by feeding.  As you can imagine, it's an exciting time with this baby coming so soon after the birth of its cousin, Pandora's calf.  We know you join us in this excitement and hope, as do we all, that the baby thrives.  Its gender isn't known, so we haven't selected a name.  If you have any suggestions, please let us know. Welcome to the family, little one!

The father of Calusa's baby is Razzle, a male dolphin who lives at SeaWorld.

Adorbs! Do you have any idea on what you're going to name him/her and the other calf? I have some ideas if you need any. <3

We are waiting until we know more about the calves' dolphinality before we name them. Feel free to send your name suggestions to fins@dolphins.org.
