At birth, calves measure about a meter (3.8 feet) long and weigh about 18 kilograms (40 pounds).

About the author

I manage the SDRP website, serve as President of the Dolphin Biology Research Institute, and otherwise volunteer as needed. I started the SDRP in 1970 with then High School student Randy Wells, and I led the research through the 70’s. Randy took over in the early 80s when I changed careers. Since then, my non-dolphin interests mostly have been in the area of human behavioral health. With NIH support, much of my research has involved Internet interventions and training programs. My graduate degrees are in Zoology (MS), Exercise Physiology (MAPE), and Health Education (PhD).
