Rainbow and her new baby

One of WDCS’s adoption dolphins, Rainbow, has a brand new baby!

Adopt a Dolphin Field Officer, Charlie Phillips, managed to get this beautiful photo of the pair of them and posted it yesterday on his blog.

To find out more about adopting Rainbow or one of her friends, visit our adoption pages.
