EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image, a bottlenose dolphin mother (Tursiops truncatus) tenderly communicates with her newborn calf, immediately after its birth in the clear blue waters of their marine habitat. The mother's experienced eyes hold a deep sense of love and nurturing as she keeps her baby underwater, controlling its breathing through a process called "forced exhalation." This crucial moment marks the beginning of a profound bond between mother and child, as they begin their journey of life together. Bottlenose dolphins are highly social marine mammals, known for their complex communication skills and strong family ties. Their gestation period lasts approximately 12 months, and the birth process can take anywhere from half an hour to 3-4 hours, depending on the mother's experience. The newborn calf, completely dependent on its mother for survival, will be weaned after 9-18 months. Mothers and their young stay closely bonded for up to 6 years, forming the foundation of social structures within dolphin communities. Communication between dolphins is rich and diverse, including vocalizations, body movements, and touch. This image captures a beautiful moment of history in the making, as the mother and calf begin their life cycle, filled with love, learning, and growth.
