A dolphins offspring is its young. Its babies. Baby dolphins are born tail first, and must go to the surface to breathe right after it is born. Sometimes it is able to swim up by itself, and is sometimes pushed up by its mother. When the baby is hungry, the mother squrits some milk into its mouth. The mother usually has a friendly dolphin next to her. Helping with the baby. They might even make a cradle out of their flippers. When hunting, they take turns. One will go fishing, while the other stays with the other. At night the mother sleeps next to her baby. They take little naps because they must go to the surface to breath. With a flip of the mother's tail they float up to take a breath. The baby goes up to breath at the same time as the mother.
