Miracle in the Oltremare Lagoon - Witness the Spectacular Birth of a Bottlenose Dolphin!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Get ready to be amazed as we capture an extraordinary moment in nature's wonderland. In this photo print, we bring you front-row seats to the birth process of a Bottlenose Dolphin. With its tail and Dorsal Fin gracefully emerging from the water, this beautiful creature is about to welcome its little one into the world within seconds! Located in the picturesque Riccione, Italy, Oltremare lagoon becomes a stage for this incredible event. The pregnancy lasted an astonishing 54 weeks, building anticipation for what was about to unfold. On July 2nd, 2010 at precisely 8:02 am, a male calf made his grand entrance into existence. Just two and a half hours later, he began nursing on his mother's milk with an insatiable appetite. Weighing approximately 16 kg and measuring 120cm at birth, this adorable bundle of joy quickly grew under his doting mother's care. Blue, our proud mama dolphin hails from Delphinarium Rimini Italy while Micha – a charming Cuban gentleman residing in Italy since 1989 – takes up his role as the father figure. Join us on this enchanting journey captured by Augusto Leandro Stanzani's lens. Remember that these prints are solely meant for personal display purposes; however, they will undoubtedly bring endless joy and fascination into your life!
