I ask you....Is there nothing cuter than a baby dolphin?  Each morning this week a large pod of spinner dolphins has welcomed us to the harbor, given us a great show and then sent us on our way to the days dives.   This group seems different tho, avoiding the boats rather than rushing to them, they seem to prefer a more distant vantage point.  A closer look revealed many very young dolphins clinging to the sides of their mothers.  Often two adults would rise for a breath (perhaps a mom and an auntie) with a tiny football sized baby sheltered between them.  This has to be a nursery pod.  Since dolphins appear to be reproductive about 4 times a year, it stands to reason that many would give birth around the same time.  In this group many of the babies are so tiny they must be brand new.  Some are just beginning to learn to jump out of the water.  They barely clear the surface with their tiny tails pumping madly up and down.  Every time they break the surface everyone gives a collective "awe".   We just can't help ourselves.   They are still a long way from the characteristic "spinning" of the agile adults but it sure is fun to watch them try.   There was one baby today that looked a little bigger, when he jumped he nearly made a full revolution before landing on his side in the water.  He was about 24 inches long.  They are about the cutest things EVER!
