Amazing pictures that capture the moment a dolphin joins the world
It is one of the rarest and most magical sights in the natural world.
A bottlenose dolphin goes into labour . . . then a calf emerges, tail first. Mother guides baby gently to the surface, where they swim together for the first time.
Very few dolphin births have been captured on film in such astonishing detail.
Magical: Very few dolphin births have been captured on film
Nearly there: The dolphin is born tail first
In a cloud of blood the dolphin calf is free
