Striped dolphin mourning a dead conspecific



This striped dolphin was observed yesterday, mourning a dead companion. The research team and the students on board were deeply impressed and saddened by the expressions of grief by the individual alive. We filmed, recorded underwater sounds and interviewed students -- to be featured in a future video.
