Francisca, the Franciscana dolphin calf, has been in the care of R3 in Brazil for several weeks now and is growing and thriving. For some time now, Francisca has also been fed shrimp and small fish, and she has already learned to search for and eat them on her own.
Dr. Lorenzo von Fersen attended a meeting in Brazil to discuss Francisca's future. The trip was made possible by the support of Nuremberg Zoo. In the near future, Francisca will also be moved to a larger tank, and the keepers will continue to care for her around the clock. Let's keep our fingers crossed for Francisca's healthy development.
We are still dependent on your donations and support to care for Francisca, and we appreciate any help. Thank you very much!
