🐬 Rare sight: Newborn dolphin spotted in China

A group of five rare Chinese white dolphins, accompanied by a newborn calf, has been documented in the coastal waters of Xiamen. Experts estimate the calf is less than a month old; while it is currently gray, its skin will turn white as it matures. This marks the first newborn sighting in the area this year.

According to THP, citing the "Большая Азия" media resource, these dolphins are highly sensitive to environmental changes. The stability of their population in this region is a vital indicator of water purity and the ongoing success of local conservation efforts.
