After being washed ashore, apparently injured by a fishing net, the baby dolphin approximately 10 days old is nursed back to health. The baby dolphin was discovered by walkers on the banks of La Plata river near Montevideo, the Uruguayan capital. They did not find the sign of a mother nearby.
Below are the magnificent pictures of the tiny dolphin now named Nipper - and the concerned penguin who oversaw his care. The erect-crested penguin is an oil spill rescue who's also recuperating at the reserve.
An erect-crested penguin watches as Richard Tesore, head of the NGO Rescate Fauna Marina, holds a baby La Plata river dolphin in Piriapolis, 100km (62 miles) east of Montevideo, November 5, 2010.
