Video of dolphin carrying its dead newborn through the Indian Ocean reveals a deep and old ‘mourning ritual’
Fraggle, a grieving mother dolphin, carried her deceased calf for six days, a poignant testament to her profound maternal love. Captured by drone footage in the Indian Ocean, this heart-wrenching scene revealed the support of her pod, which gathered around her in solidarity during her mourning. This behavior, seen in over twenty cetacean species, underscores their intricate social connections and possible awareness of mortality.
