In late October, Tangles had been absent from the Dolphin Feed for several nights running.  We were not too worried about this as Tangles is a wild dolphin.  Tangles turned 9 years of age in September of this year and has reached sexual maturity, so it's possible she was being herded by the other male dolphins in Moreton Bay to breed.  This is all part of dolphins societies, so there is a chance that Tangles may be pregnant, we'll just have to wait and see.  In Moreton Bay, dolphins can become pregnant when they turn 9 years old, the gestation period is 12 months, therefore they will give birth to their first born calf when they are approximately 10 years olds.
