A view into a womb: A pregnant dolphin's ultrasound

In early 2007, Vancouver Aquarium staff determined that Hana, a 12-year-old Pacific white-sided dolphin, living at the Aquarium was pregnant. Aquarium staff were monitoring her pregnancy using ultrasound. Unfortunately, she miscarried on May 22, 2007.

Because Pacific white-sided dolphin pregnancies are relatively rare in aquariums, every one of Hana's ultrasounds gave us essential information not only on Hana and her fetus, but also about this species' physiology and life history in general.

12 years old and pregnant sounds like jamie lyn spears ZINGG lol jk but this is awesome. i heard if you put a pregnant WOMAN in the water with 3 other dolphins the dolphins can sense that she is pregnant and will start swimming in circles around the woman in means to protect her. anyone know if this is true?
