SeaWorld San Diego dolphin gives birth to 40-pound bundle of joy

SAN DIEGO – A dolphin at SeaWorld San Diego has given birth to a 40-pound bundle of joy.

The water park says a 13-year-old bottlenose dolphin named Sadie gave birth Saturday afternoon to her second calf.

Experts haven’t determined the sex of the calf but the park says mother and baby are swimming together and bonding.

They’re in good health but trainers and veterinarians will monitor the pair around the clock.

Sadie also has a calf that was born in 2009.

The new arrival is the park’s 80th successful dolphin birth.
