Cambodia Welcomes Unprecedented Dolphin Birth Rate in Last Four Years

Phnom Penh: According to an announcement from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, a newborn dolphin was spotted by a research team from the Fisheries Administration and WWF on November 8, 2024, in Anlong Kampi, Chroy Banteay village, Sambok commune, Chit Borei district, Kratie Province. The baby dolphin is reported to be in good health, accompanied by two larger dolphins.

This marks the ninth baby dolphin born in 2024, the highest birth rate since 2021. Historical data reveals that in 2021, Cambodia recorded six newborn dolphins alongside nine deaths.
