The Mother and Daughter Pair of Bottlenosed Dolphins

Two bottle nosed dolphins make exuberant clicks and whistles as they speed through the bright water. Dolphins can communicate in a variety of ways, tail slaps or loud exhalations through their blow holes are often warning sigs. A mother performs this whistle while pre an teaching the song to her unborn child.

This kind of affectionate mimicry is rare in nature and suggests there's something unique and special about the bonds in dauphin families.
