Dolphin Won't Leave Dead Calf's Side

An adult bottlenose dolphin was filmed last week off the western coast of Italy seemingly trying to revive the body of a dead dolphin calf. In the video above, the adult dolphin, which may be the calf's mother, repeatedly nudges the young dolphin's inanimate body.

Researchers from Oceanomare Delphis, a nonprofit conservation and research organization, captured the footage off the coast of Ostia, near Rome. The cause of the calf's death is unknown.
