Dolphin Marine Magic family welcome new baby dolphin Dolphin Marine Magic has a new baby dolphin at Coffs Harbour. HE'S just three days old but this dolphin calf is showing plenty of bottle. Affectionately dubbed Mr Independent, staff say the newest member of the Dolphin Marine Magic family is a typical boy looking for adventure. He is the third Pacific bottlenose dolphin born to 27-year-old Calamity and 43-year-old Bucky in just nine years at the Coffs Harbour marine park. Chief executive Paige Sinclair said it was a quick birth - and within 10 minutes of the tail being sighted, the calf was being taught to swim. While mother and calf are doing well, park life sciences manager Aaron Tolley said the baby would be closely monitored for up to a year. "The risk to the health of newborn calves is quite high and close monitoring is critical at this stage," he added. Mr Tolley said the calf would spend the next three years by his mother's side and marine specialists would be there watching it grow. The journey of Calamity's pregnancy is being documented in new children's show Blue Zoo, to be aired on ABC3, which brings eight teenagers from Australia and Ireland together to train as marine experts working with dolphins, seals and turtles at the marine park.
