I wanted to share this interesting article....

The famous Italian diver Enzo Maiorca dove into the sea of Syracuse and was talking to his daughter Rossana who was aboard the boat. Ready to go in, he felt something slightly hit his back. He turned and saw a dolphin. Then he realized that the dolphin did not want to play but to express something.
The animal dove and Enzo followed. At a depth of about 12 meters, trapped in an abandoned net, there was another dolphin. Enzo quickly asked his daughter to grab the diving knives. Soon, the two of them managed to free the dolphin, which, at the end of the ordeal, emerged, issued an “almost human cry” (describes Enzo). A dolphin can stay under water for up to 10 minutes, then it drowns.
The released dolphin was helped to the surface by Enzo, Rosana and the other dolphin. That’s when the surprise came: she was pregnant! The male circled them, and then stopped in front of Enzo, touched his cheek (like a kiss), in a gesture of gratitude and then they both swam off.
Enzo Maiorca ended his speech by saying: “Until man learns to respect and communicate with the animal world, he will never be able to know his true role on this Earth.”

If he was in the water for a dive, he wouldn't have to ask his daughter to bring a knife. He would have one in a sheath strapped to his arm or leg.

Where did you find this story?

The bottom line is so true.

Just did a wee search of whether or not one can see when a dolphin is pregnant ... one of the headings that came up was " can a human and a dolphin have a baby" ...sure they don't mean together........

I have to ask, was the dolphin called Lassie?

Yah, well good story, I have saved a few animals over the years, and found a few that got into trouble and didn’t get out alive. Full disclosure, I’ve harvested wildlife too. It’s a balance as I see it. But good story.
