Grieving Dolphin Fraggle Carries Deceased Calf in Viral Video

Some people who study the ocean shared a video on the internet.

The video showed a dolphin named Fraggle.

She was swimming while carrying her baby dolphin who had died.

That baby was the fourth one Fraggle had lost.

Other dolphins in her pod swam around her, staying close.

Many people who watched the video felt very sad for Fraggle.

They wrote kind messages of sympathy online.

Scientists say dolphins can feel sad and miss their family members, just like people do.

Whales, elephants, and monkeys can also act like this.

Even though we are different animals, humans and dolphins share some of the same feelings.
