Born Free is welcoming a new arrival – a new baby for its much-loved adopted dolphin Muddy.

Muddy lives in the Moray Firth, off the north coast of Scotland, which is home to 500 bottlenose dolphins protected by the Cetacean Research and Rescue Unit (CRRU). Supported by Born Free, CRRU researches and monitors whales and dolphins in the region, and provides veterinary treatment.

Muddy’s new calf, which is still too young to be identified as a boy or girl, was first spotted in May and is thought to have been born in October 2016. This is Muddy’s seventh calf.

Born Free has now launched a competition to find a name for Muddy’s new calf. The competition is exclusively open to all Muddy adopters.

We asked our listeners what they thought they should call the addition.
