Dolphin Parenting

I have been reading up on Dolphin Parenting,  not the type you read about where it is the polar opposite to tiger mom.   It seems that a dolphin is by all standards a great parent.  They assist their offspring for unto six years.  They teach them all they need to know to survive from feeding to how to protect themselves.   When a baby (calf) is born the pod assists and helps the young take their first breaths by pushing them up out of the water to breath.  They provide a great child hood for a wonderful "childhood"   We at Dolphin cove have had the opportunity to be party to our dolphins giving birth and watching the love that comes from not only the parents but the entire pod.   It is a magical experience.
