'Adopted' Deaf Dolphin Births Normal Calf in Florida

"Castaway" is the mother's name.

Marine biologists think she's deaf. Castaway beached herself last November at Vero Beach and marine vets took her in to recoup. She was released but then beached herself twice since.

Castaway was pregnant and has given birth to what scientists think is a healthy calf.

Mom and child looks like they'll have to stay in captivity to survive but hey- they'll have 3 or however many-squares a-day they need and the best health care anywhere.

If I get sick- I'll dress up like a dolphin and beach myself.
