Dear Marmam subscribers, I am currently working on resident common bottlenose dolphins in Rangiroa, French Polynesia, with a local NGO and the IRCP-CRIOBE research center. One of the groups contains a juvenile melon-headed whale first observed last November when it still was a calf and regularly seen with the bottlenoses since then. This is not the first time that these dolphins are seen with calves from other dolphin species and I would be really interested to know if someone knows of similar recurrent cases elsewhere? I would also be keen to have people's views about these phenomena. Many thanks for your help, Pamela ---- Pamela Carzon | Chef de mission Groupe d'Étude des Mammifères Marins PR Tiputa - 98776 Rangiroa - PF +689 87.77.90.99 pamelacarzon@gemmpacific.org <mailto:pamelacarzon@gemmpacific.org> www.gemmpacific.org <http://www.gemmpacific.org/>
