A baby “Common Commercial Dolphin” was born on Sunday, June 22, 2025, at the Sendai Uminomori Aquarium, an aquarium that creates new “connections” between the sea and people, and between water and people. The baby Commercial Dolphin was born to its mother, Sarah, and is the first birth at the Sendai Uminomori Aquarium, and the first birth of a baby Commercial Dolphin in Japan in two years. Right after the baby was born, the mother “Sarah” supported the baby so that it would not hit the wall, swam close to it, and was able to confirm that it was nursing. Both mother and child were in good health. Since then, the health of the mother and child and their childcare have progressed smoothly, and the dolphin will be open to the public from tomorrow, Tuesday, July 8th. The mother and child swim happily together, and the childcare scene, which can be said to be “dolphin parent-child love,” is heartwarming and you can see their adorable appearance up close. The lively swimming baby is a popular symbol of the 10th anniversary of the opening of the aquarium, and the staff will continue to watch over and support it so that it will continue to grow up healthy.
