ORLANDO, Fla. -

A baby dolphin was born Saturday at SeaWorld Orlando.

The calf was born at 8:47 a.m. to a mother dolphin named Starkey.

SeaWorld representatives said the calf, whose gender is yet unknown, has been seen nursing and bonding with its mother, Starkey, which they said is an indication that it is doing well.

Starkey has had five other calves.

Visitors to SeaWorld Orlando can see the baby with its mom at the Dolphin Nursery.
