On April 21, a bottlenose dolphin was born at Motobu Genki Village in Hamamoto, Motobu. It has been 2 years since a baby dolphin was born there. The birth was the result of artificial insemination. The father is a dolphin named Luster at the Kagoshima City Aquarium in Shiga prefecture.
The baby dolphin was born at approximately 2:10 p.m. At approximately 5:00 p.m., the baby dolphin was seen swimming around in the outdoor pool, staying right next to the mother, Leo.
Veterinarian Keiko Yamamoto was thrilled. “When the dolphin wasn’t born on the expected delivery date, I was worried. I’m relieved the baby was born safely.” (Motobu)
