PHNOM PENH (XINHUA) – Another newborn Mekong Irrawaddy dolphin has been sighted, raising the number of newborn dolphin calves in Cambodia to six so far this year, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) said in a press release.
The new calf, about four days old, was spotted at the Kampi dolphin pool in Kratie province’s Chetr Borei district by a team of researchers from the Fisheries Administration and the World Wide Fund for Nature.
“This newborn dolphin was seen swimming alongside a pod of five adult dolphins,” the press release said. “It is the sixth dolphin calf born in 2025.”
