Description
Donna and Daisy taken July 2009 at Zoo Duisburg.
Do not steal!

Did you know?
-That today most dolphins in zoos were born there?
-That the EU and USA do not capture or import dolphins from the wild anymore and strongly oppose the dolphin slaughter in Japan and Faroer Islands?
-That bottlenose dolphins live about 10-25 years in the wild, hardly reaching an age of 30 or more, while bottlenose dolphins in zoos can live up to 50 years, often reaching ages of 30 - 40, simply because they do not have to fight/search for food and because vets take care of them?
-That thousands of dolphins die each year in slaughters by Japan/other countries but that about A MILLION die each year accidently caught in fishing nets?
-(This is for the activists ) That dolphins are living beings just like other animals and thus do not only give birth but also get sick and die some day? It just happens because - well they are not immortal..
