How terribly sad is this???

A bottlenose dolpin off of Dana Point, Ca is currently morning over her dead calf, and while she's filled with sorrow, she doesn't plan on letting go of her baby anytime soon, so she's been carrying her tot on her back for several days now.

The footage of the funeral procession was captured by Captain David Anderson while he was hosting a Whale Watching Safari, and even though it was a sad sight, Anderson kept his composure and explained that he had never seen this type of behavior.

In the clip (above), you can see the mama carrying her deceased young, and we must say, the video broke our hearts.

So sweet…we're madly in love with this new family!

A bottlenose dolphin born with a deformity has been abandoned by his original group. The babe suffers from a deformed spine, and he could not keep up with his fellow dolphins.

The dolphin could have also been teased by the members of his original pod as well.

But, thankfully, sperm whales have come to the rescue!

A wild dolphin in distress swam near a group of divers in Hawaii, and they noticed the bottlenose had limited mobility.

Test tube babies for everyone!

A baby gurl dolphin has been born at Discovery Cove and she's special for multiple reasons!

The baby is the first calf born at the Cove using the technology of "sperm sexing." What is sperm sexing?

Dang, the dolphins at SeaWorld can't get a break these days!

PETA recently filed a complaint to the U.S. Department of Agriculture against San Antonio's SeaWorld on behalf of a bottlenose dolphin that was rockin' an exposed injury on its nose.

And while the organization was in complete discontent over the hurt dolphin, they expressed that the incident is violating the Animal Welfare Act, which states facilities should be free of any objects that could possibly harm an animal.

PETA's President, Ingrid E. Newkirk said:
