Abstract

There is some good news for dolphin lovers. The population of the endangered Irrawaddy Dolphins in Orissa's lake Chilika has increased from 138 to 146 in one year. The latest dolphin census report, released on February 18, showed a rise in the number of dolphin calves--there were 17 this year as against six counted last year. This is seen as a good sign as dolphins are slow breeders and reproduce only once in two years.
