Description: It’s a piece that might just become a favorite. I think dolphin babies are almost too adorable for words. I have a picture of a baby dolphin with her mom in one of my animal encyclopedias. It has mom’s wonderful “smile” and looks like a miniature version. When the baby is born, it stays right next to her. After a couple of weeks it begins to chase fish, although not that well. It dashes back to mom or “Auntie”, another female dolphin that helps rear the little one. The mother dolphin is quite protective of her calf. In fact the only other dolphin that can get close to the baby is the Aunt. A new baby is born toothless, much like our little ones. In the first few weeks of life the teeth begin to erupt from the gums, and about 5 months later the calf may begin to take solid food. Until then, of course, the baby subsists only on his mother’s rich milk. Because the baby nurses under water, he has to come to the surface to breathe twice a minute, so he has to nurse fast! Mom suckles her baby two times an hour, day and night. What a lot of mothering goes into raising a baby dolphin. I think this sterling silver dolphin pin-pendant is just different enough that it would make a really unique gift for a dolphin lover. |
