When born, a dolphin calf typically measures about 3 to 4 feet in length and weighs between 30 to 40 pounds, depending on the species. They are relatively large compared to their mother's size, which allows them to swim to the surface quickly for their first breath. Dolphin calves are usually born tail-first to prevent drowning during birth.
