Dead baby dolphins continue to wash ashore on Gulf of Mexico beaches

~

Dozens of dead baby and adult dolphins have washed ashore on Gulf beaches since the beginning of the year, according to new reports.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says the rising death count is exceptionally high, especially because the normal birthing season for dolphins -- a time at which some baby dolphins inevitably end up dying -- is normally several months from now.
