Dolphin is born – level 1

23-10-2014 15:00

This news is from California. A dolphin lives at a theme park. She is a female. She is a mother. Her first dolphin is 13 years old. She gives birth to a second dolphin. It is 40 pounds (18kg) heavy.

Vets watch the two dolphins non-stop. They say that they are fine. They swim together.

Difficult words: theme park (a fun centre), female (girl), vet (animal doctor).

You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.

Any ideas for the name? :-)
