Cempaka Culture and Tourism: Ancol Dreamland Park welcomes new baby dolphin

“… The Shift in Human Nature

You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.

In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?

Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.

What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. …”

Ancol Dreamland Park welcomes new baby dolphin

Ancol Dreamland Park’s dolphin arena welcomed a new member into the sea mammal family with the birth of Spekta on Thursday.

The baby dolphin was born at 7:20 a.m. to parents Lily and Charon.

Spekta, a bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus), measured 80 centimeters in length and weighed in at around 8.5 kilograms.

“We named the baby dolphin Spekta, short for spektakuler [spectacular],” Ancol director Budi Karya Sumadi told reporters at the park, located in Ancol in North Jakarta.

Spekta's birth went smoothly and only took around one-and-a-half hours, said Ancol veterinarian Yus Anggoro Saputro.

Spekta is the first baby born to 17-year-old Lily.

A female dolphin usually reaches sexual maturity at the age of 9, said Yus, who supervised the observation of the delivery process.

The team of vets said Spekta was in good health, and within hours of being born, the baby dolphin was seen swimming side by side with the mother inside the aquarium at the Fantasea Dolphin arena.

“As soon as the baby comes out, it will reflexively swim up to breathe, and the mother will guide the baby to help it adapt to the new atmosphere outside the uterus,” Yus said.

He added his team had noticed Lily was ready to give birth since Wednesday.

“We noticed Lily had lost her appetite since yesterday," he said.

"Loss of appetite is the clearest sign to look out for in a pregnant dolphin about to give birth."

He added, “We can also observe its way of swimming.

“When the delivery is nearing, the female usually swims in an upright position and becomes less active.”

Yus said Lily had been pregnant for 12 months.

However, he said the veterinary team could not immediately determine if Spekta was male or female.

“We have to wait for at least several months to find out,” he said.

With the birth of Spekta, the arena now has a total of 29 dolphins. Spekta becomes the 32nd dolphin born there.

The park's management welcomed the good news and attributed Spekta's successful birth to the park's intensive efforts to breed dolphins.

“The birth of Spekta is a good outcome for our intensive efforts in breeding dolphins over the past several years," Budi said.

"We will continue with such great efforts."

He said the conservation program at Ancol was a success, despite the fact that breeding dolphins was difficult because the sea mammal was a very sensitive animal.

Budi added that Ancol was planning to establish a conservation zone for dolphins in Bidadari Island.

“We will build a special pool where visitors can swim together with the dolphins.”
