Here Today, Gone Tomorrow- Help Make a Difference

The beauty of a dolphin can be described in so many words, that to say they are simply enchanting does not do them justice. Dolphins are strong and intelligent. They are loving and still fierce. They are creatures whose elegance is best perceived up close. Dolphins are wonderful animals who bring joy and delight to all who encounter them. The sight of a mother dolphin with her newborn calf is breathtaking. In the calf's first moments of life, the mother communicates using a unique whistle so…

When asked about his apparent lack of anger toward the Chinese by an incredulous reporter…
