A baby dolphin nicknamed Paradon swims at the Marine and Coastal Resources Research and Development Center in Rayong province in eastern Thailand, Friday, Aug. 26. The Irrawaddy dolphin calf was drowning in a tidal pool on Thailand’s shore when fishermen found him last month. The calf was nicknamed Paradon, roughly translated as “brotherly burden,” because those involved knew from day one that saving his life would be no easy task. But the baby seems to be on the road to recovery.
