ORLANDO, Fla. -- A new baby dolphin was born Tuesday morning at 9:36 a.m. at SeaWorld Orlando.

The calf weighs 35 pounds and is 40 inches long, with the sex unknown at this time.  

SeaWorld officials said it was seen nursing and bonding with its mom, which is a good indication that the calf is doing well.

Park guests can see the pair at SeaWorld’s Dolphin Nursery, where pregnant dolphins, new mothers, their calves and experienced moms live together.
