Dolphins hug their bodies and push them to the surface in despair

The dolphin mother tried desperately, in order to retain a small ray of hope. The story has proved sad and maternal love is not a sense of human monopoly.

Scientists have long had a debate about whether "maternal love" and the ability to feel grief really exist in animals. Many scientists believe that it is a luxury concept, because it shows the ability to think at a high level. But then no one explained the stories like elephants roaring when losing their children, or about her assassin Tahlequah whale going around the ocean during the second half of August 2018.

Assassin whales hug their bodies around the ocean for more than half a month.

And recently, we have a more painful case, but contributing to proving maternal love and sadness is not human prerogative.

It is a video posted on Twitter by a boat manufacturer in Florida - See Through Canoe, with the scene of a dolphin pushing her baby's body to the surface in desperation.

Pushing up and sinking again, the mother didn't hesitate to dive immediately to continue her work. Another young man is swimming beside him, ready to help his mother if the bad brother's body sinks for too long.

According to descriptive information, this sad story happened in the waters of Indian Shores (Florida, USA). It is known that the fish belong to the sea class (whales, dolphins, killer whales .) breathe through the lungs, but give birth in the water. So when the baby is born, the mother will have to push it to the surface to help her breathe and survive.

Dolphins hugged her body, desperately pushing ashore proving that maternal love in animals is real.

Sadly, the child was unable to survive, and it seemed that the mother could not overcome it either. The poor mother kept pushing her baby's body up, trying to hold on to a ray of hope, though it was impossible.

Is maternal love true in animals?

This is not the first time people have recorded this behavior in a creature with high intelligence like dolphins. Scientists say the image is another proof that, like us, many animals may feel grief when their children or homosexuals die.

Similar evidence has been recorded for many years. According to a report published in Zoology, about 78 cases of whales and dolphins have this behavior. In particular, the rate occurs in dolphins higher than 18 times.

The mother dolphin is not ready to give up her baby.

"The mother dolphin is not ready to give up her baby, constantly pushing her to the surface to save it" - tweet excerpt from See Through Canoe.

"There is no known cause of death because of a specific examination, but it is possible that the baby has hit a ship".

"Don't ever think dolphins swim fast so you can't hit them. Collisions are real," the author commented indignantly.
