Dolphins protect their young from the moment they are
born. Immediately before giving birth, the mother dolphin be-
gins to move more slowly and other female dolphins, seeing
this, assist her when she is in labor. These helpers swim on ei-
ther side of the mother dolphin to protect her and, when the
baby is born, make sure that it gets up to the water's surface to
take its first breath.
