Hong Kong’s Pink Dolphins Disappearing

Most likely as a result of pollution, Hong Kong’s pink dolphins (Sousa chinensis) are dying off. In a recent video, a female pink dolphin supports her dead baby at the surface. Care-giving behavior, also known as epimeletic behavior, is a trait often seen in dolphins, who have been known to keep swimmers above the surface of the water, and take them to land.
