Description
Dolly, female bottlenose dolphin at Zoo Duisburg, taken May 2009. Do not steal! Due to still drinking her mothers milk but also already eating fish, she is very fat.

Anti-"captivity" comments will be ignored and deleted!

Did you know...
-That today most dolphins in zoos were born there?
-That the EU and USA do not capture or import anymore dolphins from the wild and strongly oppose the dolphin slaughter in Japan and Faroer Islands?
-That bottlenose dolphins live about 10-25 years in the wild, hardly reaching an age of 30 or more, while bottlenose dolphins in zoos can live up to 50 years, often reaching ages of 30 - 40, simply because they do not have to fight/search for food and because vets take care of them?
-That thousands of dolphins die each year in slaughters by Japan/other countries but that MILLIONS die each year accidently caught in fishing nets?
-(This is for the activists ) That dolphins are living beings just like humans and other animals and thus do not only give birth but also get sick and die some day? It just happens cause - well they are neither immortal nor gods...
