Clearwater Aquarium: Bringing Up Baby

Bringing Up Baby

What does it take to care for an orphaned dolphin or otter pup? Join the Clearwater Marine Aquarium (CMA) staff as they teach about younger rescued animals at CMA and the extra special care needed for these animal babies. Participants will learn how scientists work together to create solutions to complex problems. Students will apply what they have learned by examining a whale’s baby bottle and learning how to make dolphin formula, and will view footage of our otter pups first learning to swim. Discover natural versus learned behaviors as the program focuses on how marine mammals care for their young in the wild and how reproductive strategies differ among species.

Recommended for all ages.
