Marta, great book right, this is a pic of Nicky one of the main dolphins from the book. This is her baby Finn!
That is great that people treat them with dignity that's how it should be :D
I love this!! I read a book about the dolphins in Monkey Mia: "To Touch A Wild Dolphin" by Rachel Smolker. I was fascinated by this story. Love to see these dolphins now here in Noah :-)
Thanks, better in real life though!
