On the death of a baby dolphin

On September 26, 2010 at the Port of Nagoya Public Aquarium, Anne gave birth but sadly the baby died shortly after birth.

It is thought that the baby dolphin is probably considerably smaller than immature individuals and the size of normal birth weight at birth length.

The cause of death will be a detailed survey and are currently pursuing the cause.
