What an amazing thing to witness!

Dolphins are very special animals, as the dolphin in this video proves. Divers noticed the animal was swimming in circles near the bottom of the sea. The divers were confused at first, but then they realised what they were witnessing and they started filming the special moment.

Intelligence

Dolphins are special animals that mainly live in the more shallow parts of the sea. Just like whales, dolphins are known for their intelligence: they have relatively big brains and it’s even been proven that they can recognise themselves in a mirror. They can also call each other over with a characteristic whistling noise, which researchers say is the equivalent of people calling each other by their names. Besides all this, the animals are also capable of experiencing complex emotions.

Social

The animals are also known for their ability to interact socially with each other. They’re social creatures who live in large groups of other dolphins. They don’t just have a lot of contact with other dolphins: because of their curious and playful natures they also often interact with other types of animals, like people. Dolphins can often be spotted swimming along with boats. The dolphin in this video also proves it’s very social.

Special

Divers spotted this dolphin when it was swimming in circles near the bottom of the ocean. At first, the divers thought the dolphin was simply curious and that she was swimming around them for that reason. But when they took a closer look they noticed something very strange about the belly of the dolphin and they realised why the dolphin was trying to get their attention. Something very special was happening! Watch the beautiful video on the next page.

Labour

At first, the divers thought the dolphin was just curious, but then they took a closer look at the dolphin’s belly and noticed the animal was in labour! The video clearly shows the fin of a baby dolphin sticking out of its mother’s belly. You can also see how the dolphin stays close to the divers and gives birth to its baby right there. Thanks to underwater cameras of amazing quality, the divers managed to capture this beautiful moment.

Baby dolphin

After some swimming around the bottom of the ocean trying to give birth to her young, the dolphin manages to push out the baby dolphin. Immediately after the birth, mother and child swim away together. It’s really sweet to see how close the baby stays to its mother! It’s a wonderful moment altogether and the divers can count themselves lucky that they were able to witness this joyous occasion.
