Dolphin 'dying of broken heart' after keeper is stabbed to death

By Peter Popham in Rome

A rare grampus dolphin, rescued 18 months ago after it swam into an Italian port, seems to be dying of a broken heart after the woman who reared it like her own child was murdered.

Tamara Monti, 37, the creature's keeper, was stabbed to death two weeks ago by the man who lived in the flat above her. Police found an unemployed man, Alessandro Doto, 35, standing in the street outside the block where they lived, frozen like a dummy with a blood-spattered knife in his hand. He told them Ms Monti's two dogs barked all day and it drove him mad.

The issue had been simmering between them for months. Ms Monti and her partner had found a new place to live with their cat and dogs and were due to move the next day.

Ms Monti was from the Lake Como region, hundreds of miles north-west of Riccione, a resort on the Adriatic coast just south of Rimini, but Riccione had taken her to its heart. The town was in mourning on hearing of her death. But no one missed her like Mary G.

The grampus dolphin was a calf in June 2005 when she and her mother blundered into the port of Ancona, south of Riccione, and ran aground. They were rescued and brought to hospital, but Mary G's mother died three days later. After two months the dolphin had recovered sufficiently to be brought to Oltremare Park in Riccione, a seaside theme park, where she was given a pool of sea water and the constant attendance of experts. They bottle-fed her a mixture of herring, vitamins and mineral salts, rocked her like a baby and gave her swimming lessons. But only one of the keepers talked to her as if she were her own child, and that was Ms Monti.

As Mary G grew, she became the park's big attraction. Her fame spread through Italy, via websites, television programmes and blogs. Visitors flocked to Riccione to see her.

"We wanted to return her to the open sea," said Sauro Pari, head of the organisation that runs the park, "but international experts advised against it. They told us she would not survive."

Instead the grampus dolphin with the comical rounded forehead and cartoon-like grin, and her surrogate mother, remained together - for life, or so it appeared.

But now Mary G is dying. The word began to spread within days of Ms Monti's murder, through the blogs and websites devoted to her. One message read: "Since Tamara's death, Mary is unwell. Let's help her." She would either refuse her diet of milk and squid, or eat it then spew it out.

Mary G's weight plummeted from 210kg to 160kg in a couple of weeks. As happened 18 months ago, she is being attended by specialist vets, but has so far failed to respond to treatment.

At the theme park, dolphin experts are going out of their way to deny any firm connection between the keeper's murder and the dolphin's sickness. They say there is a simple explanation for her rejection of food: an intestinal parasite which she could have acquired at any time.

"From a strictly scientific point of view we absolutely cannot assert that the two facts are connected," Mr Pari said. "But there is no doubt that her grief for the death of Tamara is great. We are very worried about what will become of her."

Let's start a trend on these most wonderful sea creatures. Here are some facts and pictures. Do you have your favorite picture of a dolphin? Have you swam with the dolphins? I am sure everyone would if they could because it is the most beautiful experience ever.

What are dolphins?

Dolphins are small, toothed whales. They belong to the group known as cetaceans (from the Latin word cetus, meaning large sea animal) which includes all whales, dolphins, and porpoises.

How many species are there?

There are many different kinds of dolphins, around thirty or forty species of dolphins, including some species we would commonly call whales, such as orcas and pilot whales. Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) are one of the most wide-ranging species. They live along tropical and temperate coasts all around the world. Other species of dolphins live in cold waters, such as the Atlantic white-sided dolphin that can be seen from the Gulf of St.Lawrence to the North Sea, and the hourglass dolphin that lives in the waters of the Antarctic.

How are dolphins like us?

Dolphins and humans have a lot of things in common. First of all we are both mammals. We nurse our young, which are born alive, not hatched from eggs. Mammals breathe air. A dolphin must come up to the surface to breathe through a blowhole on the top of its head. When it dives, the blowhole closes shut. Rather than breathing continuously, like we do, a dolphin takes a breath and holds it until it surfaces again. Unlike us, dolphins breathing is not automatic, so they have to think to breathe rather than think to hold their breath.

Both humans and dolphins are warm-blooded. A dolphin's body temperature is normally 96-98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Its outer body temperature is slightly lower. A human's body temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit just a fraction higher than a dolphin's.

How do dolphins communicate?

Dolphins communicate by making two types of sounds: vocalizations and echolocation. Vocalizations are the many noises dolphins use to communicate. These sounds come from their blowholes. Echolocation, also called sonar, is the way dolphins locate and distinguish between objects underwater. A dolphin emitts a sound and listens for the echo. This allows a dolphin to navigate through dark or murky water without bumping into anything. A dolphin produces powerful clicking sounds that travel through the water, which then bounce off objects and return to the dolphin. A whopping 1,200 clicks a second can be transmitted ahead of a dolphin like a beacon. These clicks come from the rounded forehead of the dolphin, called the melon. This melon along with the lower jaw are filled with a jelly-like substance used to smplifie sound waves. Therefore, as a dolphin swims, it moves its head back and forth to scan its surroundings, while the echos it sends out bounce off objects and hit the lower jawbone, which conducts the returning sound waves to the inner ear. By the pitch of the returning echo and the time it takes to get there, the dolphin can determine the shape, size, speed, texture, and density of the object. It can even view the inside of an object, almost like an X-ray, except it a dolphin has vision by sound.

How many kinds of dolphins are there?

There are over 33 different species of dolphins, over 5 different species of river dolphins, and over 6 different species of porpoise.

Ocean Dolphins: Atlantic White-sided Dolphin, Atlantic Borneo White Dolphin, Bottlenose Dolphin, Borneo White Dolphin, Bouto Dolphin, Broad-beaked Dolphin, Cameroon Dolphin, Chinese White Dolphin, Clymene Dolphin, Commerson's Dolphin, Common Dolphin, Dusky Dolphin, Falkland Island Dolphin, Fraser's Dolphin, Heaviside's Dolphin, Hector's Dolphin, Hour-glass Dolphin, Long-snouted Spinner Dolphin, Northern Right Whale Dolphin, Pantropical Spotted Dolphin, Peale's Dolphin, Plumbeous Dolphin, Rio de Janeiro Dolphin, Risso's Dolphin, Rough Toothed Dolphin, Southern Right Whale Dolphin, Speckled Dolphin, Spinner Dolphin, Spotted Dolphin, Striped Dolphin, White- beaked Dolphin,White-bellied Dolphin, White-sided Dolphin.

River Dolphins: Amazon River Dolphin, Baiji Dolphin, Indus River Dolphin, Ganges River Dolphin and Guiana River Dolphin.

Porpoises: Black Porpoise, Black Finless Porpoise, Cochito, Dall's Porpoise, Finless Porpoise, Harbor Porpoise, Spectacled Porpoise, True's Porpoise.

Dolphins are part of the Delphinidae family, which contain various highly intelligent aquatic mammals. The name Dolphin refers to the species that have a beaklike snout and slender, streamlined body, which has developed over millions of years through evolution to enable them to swim at high speeds. You should also remember that dolphins are mammals and not fish as they breath using lungs and not gills, and they also give live birth as opposed to laying eggs.

The skin of a dolphin has a rubbery feel to it and it is also hairless, so as they swim through the water the resistance is reduced. But the skin is also very sensitive as, unlike humans, its outer layer is made up entirely of live cells and therefore has no protection to bumps or bruises.

...that some species of dolphin can swim at speeds up to 56 kmh
(that's 35mph, by the way). It's no wonder they can keep up with speeding boats!

All dolphins use their flukes to drive them through the water by beating them up and down. Their pectoral fins are simply used to steer and stabilize them.

...that Man has studied the flukes on a dolphin's tail to improve the effectiveness of submarines and boat propellers.

Their feeding behaviour is incredibly varied, it simply depends on what is available. A general meal would consist of small fish or squid.

Dolphins do not have the best eyesight in the world but they do reply on echolocation to navigate, find food and communicate. Echolocation is a technique that dolphins use to 'see' what is ahead of them by the use of sounds. These sounds, or clicks, are produced by a mechanism just below the blowhole and are emitted at a rate of about 300 sounds a second. When these sound waves hit an object, the echo bounces back and the dolphin then knows that something lies ahead. The signature whistles, or squeals, that are used by dolphins are for communication and as a way of indicating their emotional states.

Dolphins can be found in many parts of the world in various oceans and even in the freshwater rivers of Asia, Africa and South America. There are only five species of river dolphins and they all belong to the family Platanistidae. All river dolphins are in danger of extinction due to pollution and dams, and because of this the Whitefin or baiji dolphin Lipotes vexillier of the Chang Jiang River in China is the world's rarest cetacean. There were only an estimated 300 remaining in the early 1990's but in 1995 it was feared that there were less than 100.

The most frequently encountered species in the equatorial waters of the Pacific are the Common or White-bellied dolphin and the Bottle-nosed dolphin. The Common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) can be found in all temperate and tropical seas. It can be up to 2.5m (that's 8ft) in length and is dark above, white below, with bands of grey, white and yellow on the sides.

...that dolphins have teeth? Well they do! They are used for grabbing food, not chewing it as dolphins swallow fish whole

The Common dolphin, like the Bottle-nosed dolphin, has up to 26 teeth in its each side of its jaws (that's a possible total of 104 teeth!), which make the 'beak' protrude forward from the well rounded head. The previously mentioned beak can be 15cm (6in) in length, and as we all know, it is not the dolphins nose. They breath by just surfacing, as opposed to sticking their whole head out of the water, and using their blowholes. You could say that blowholes are the equivalent of the human nostrils. The first thing a newborn dolphin must do is to go to the surface to breathe. But the newborn can not swim so its mother and a another dolphin will help push it to the surface for its first breath of air. The calf is a quick learner though, as it will be able to swim in about 30 minutes!

The second species that I have already mentioned is the Bottle-nosed dolphin (Tursiops truncatus). It is this type of dolphin that is the most frequently seen as it can be found in all warm seas. Also the Bottle-nose is the most studied and best known species of dolphin. They are mainly grey in colour and can grow to a maximum of 4.2m (that's 14ft) in length and can weigh 205kg (yup, that's 450lbs). When they live in costal areas they tend to be in fairly open groups of no more than 20 animals, but when they are offshore they have been seen in large hoards.

Tell us your experience with dolphins!

**Pmeidstc** · 11-02-2007, 08:49 PM

Hi Elaphe,

Dolphins seem to have that effect on people. They are very smart and can sense things that other mamals can't.

Glad you enjoyed the experience with the dolphins.

**egoldhyip** · 11-02-2007, 08:51 PM

it was too bad they didnt stay around (there was a large pod of them)

i just knew they were going out to hunt

I had the pleasure last summer to swim with the dolphins in Florida.
OMG they are great and very attentative and you can sense their love for you.

unexplainable feeling just a big AW

this may be your animal totem at this time.

**newshep** · 12-02-2007, 11:13 AM

I had a life long wish to swim with dolphins that I thought would only be a dream. Last year my dream became reality when my sisters and I took a vacation for the first time ever. During the vacation, we took an excursion to swim with the dolphins. It was 15 minutes of pure bliss! I was hugging them (there were two) and telling them how beautiful they were. I felt the gentle power of the fluke as they swam around me. The soft leathery skin felt wonderful. The strength of the body phenominal! Again, my sisters helped me to realize a dream as they spotted me the money to take the trip. I did pay them back but not half as much as what the experience was worth to me. You can just feel the beautiful spirit that these creature posess!

**newshep** · 12-02-2007, 11:22 AM

I duplicated my reply by accident so I edited out....ladyisis, thanks for all the information on dolphins..I am an animal buff and did not know or may have forgotten that orcas are in the same family.

I was hugging them (there were two) and telling them how beautiful they were. I felt the gentle power of the fluke as they swam around me. The soft leathery skin felt wonderful. The strength of the body phenominal! Again, my sisters helped me to realize a dream as they spotted me the money to take the trip. I did pay them back but not half as much as what the experience was worth to me. You can just feel the beautiful spirit that these creature posess!
