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