沖縄美ら海水族館でイルカの赤ちゃんが誕生

Welcome to Japanese Daily News. I'm Maya. Today is August twelfth. Some happy news from Okinawa — a baby dolphin was born at a famous aquarium, and since Monday visitors can finally meet her. Let's listen.

Now let's break it down, sentence by sentence.

A baby dolphin was born at the Churaumi Aquarium in Okinawa Prefecture.

It means aquarium — a place where you can see fish and other sea animals.

The baby was born on the night of July ninth. She is a female bottlenose dolphin.

It means to be born.

When she was born, the baby was about one hundred twenty centimeters long, and weighed about twenty kilograms.

It means body weight.

And from August tenth, the baby went on public display.

It means opening something to the general public, so that everyone can come and see it.

Visitors can watch the baby through a window that looks into the water of the pool.

It means window.

If you are lucky, you can even see the baby drinking milk from her mother.

It means lucky — to have good luck.

Let's listen to the whole story one more time.

Time for a short quiz. Listen and try to answer.

On the night of July ninth.

Through a window that looks into the water of the pool — an underwater viewing window.

It was her second time. Her first baby was born in twenty twenty-two.

That's all for today. A tiny new dolphin is now swimming beside her mother in Okinawa. If you visit, you might even see her drinking milk by the window. See you tomorrow!
