The National Aquarium in Baltimore announces the newest addition to the dolphin family – a male Atlantic bottlenose dolphin, born at the Aquarium on September 9th.

It’s a girl! Staff and volunteers at the National Aquarium in Baltimore are excited about a tiny addition to the dolphin colony: At approximately 7 a.m. on Sunday, July 27 Chesapeake, a 16 year old Atlantic bottlenose dolphin, gave birth to a female calf. At birth the calf was approximately 30 lbs and 2-3 feet long. Chesapeake is the daughter of Shiloh. This is Chesapeake’s third calf born at the National Aquarium.

The National Aquarium in Baltimore is deeply saddened to report that Shiloh, a 29 year old Atlantic bottlenose dolphin, gave birth to a stillborn calf early last week.

The National Aquarium in Baltimore is pleased to announce the pregnancy of two Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, Shiloh and Chesapeake. After months of regular check-ups, ultrasounds and other health assessments performed by the Aquarium’s animal care staff, it is estimated that both dolphins are expected to give birth in late July or August.
