Dolphins are very intelligent, emotional creatures. The mother expressed grief or tried to revive the dead child.
Mediterranean explorers off the coast of Albufeira stumble upon a funeral procession of dolphins. The woman tried to get her dead son out, Metro wrote.
The tragic and extraordinary moment was captured by Margarita Samsonova, 29, an environmental content creator. He believes this is the only time this behavior has been observed in Europe, and it represents an incredible insight into how animals deal with grief.
The researchers were attracted by a pod of about 25 dolphins because of their strange behavior.
“The dolphins acted unusual, they jumped higher than usual and made strange sounds. Then we noticed a mother with a child, and she was already dead, and it was clearly trying to bring her to the surface . like a moment of sadness, expressed by the mother and the other dolphins,” recalled Margarita.
Remember that in the Black Sea, scientists have recorded mass deaths of dolphins.
