Updates on Sara's life

I had a baby girl! Well, not me, but a dolphin, Kaylee, at the zoo. She gave birth sometime between midnight and 2:30 am. So of course nobody was there to see it. Boo hoo! But I did get to see her A LOT today. We have to do observations 24 hours a day for 2 weeks. I was doing them for a couple hours today. Basically you have to keep track of the calf's nursing...how long, which side, etc...and also you have to watch something called slip streaming, which is when the calf swims next to the mother so the calf doesn't have to do much work. She's learning that slowly but surely. I was just so excited that I get to be a part of it!
