Like most animals, its hard to protect young from other males...kinda like with lion prides, males often kill babies that are not of their own...simply to ensure their bloodline is restored...its instinct and apart of the animals cycle...Truly wonderful creatures, so beautiful and intelligent...unlike so many who slaughter these animals...thankyou national geographic for educating me ever since i was a wee lass!!!

There was a girl named Jillian. Her parents left her at home alone for 3 hours. Each hour she recieved a phone call. It was a man and he just groaned then hung up. She got scared and locked the door. She decided to go hide in her bedroom. When she got there, there was a man hunched over holding a bloody knife. She screamed and then killed her. If you do not post this on at least 10 videos in the next 20 minutes the hunched man will come and appear in your room late at night one night.

Actually, one reason calf mortality is high is because some populations of male Bottlenose dolphins attack one anothers babies so badly that the dead dolphins have massive internal injuries such as internal bleeding, punctured lungs, broken bones and blubber ripped from the bone. Infanticide is something that likely happens in other species but it's a matter of catching it on film.
