Dear colleagues,
I am looking for published or unpublished records of inter-species calf
kidnapping or adoption in marine mammals. I have a particular interest in
associations between calf and adults of different species in delphinids.
Indeed, several cases of spinner dolphin (Stenella longirostris) calf
kidnapping or adoption were perpetrated by a Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin
female in the lagoon of Mayotte (Mozambique Channel). I would be interested to
know if other similar cases have been documented/observed in other areas,
involving same or different species.
Many thanks. Please contact me ([email protected]) for any feedback.
