Baby dolphins, too...

[CLANG]

Bottlenose dolphins are one of nine species of dolphin along the Gulf Coast. As many as 5,000 dolphins are in the Gulf area between the Mississippi and Louisiana coasts and the sunken oil rig, many giving birth right now.

"It's very bad timing," says Dr. Moby Solangi, head of the nonprofit Institute for Marine Mammal Studies in Gulfport, Miss. "We're going to have a lot of babies here. We're looking at a colossal tragedy."

Scientists, veterinarians and researchers at the center frantically prepared for the possible arrival of hundreds of oily dolphins, sea turtles and manatees. Solangi says the center will be ground zero for any impacted marine mammals from Texas to Florida.

2. Such sweet animals.

I swam with dolphins on my honeymoon.

They are lovable and as friendly as your dog. And they always look as though they were smiling.

Poor things.
