Bintang the Sun Bear isn\u2019t the only new addition to our family. We have also recently adopted Nicky the dolphin! Our Managing Director, Mr. Teo\u2019s recent visit to the Dolphin Discovery Centre in Bunbury Western Australia ignited his interest in marine mammals which led to Nicky\u2019s adoption.<br \/>\nNicky is a beautiful Bottlenose Dolphin whose life story will melt any heart. What makes her super special is the fact that she had endured a fatal shark attack in September 2007 and survived it. Although her dorsal fin was badly damaged from the attack, Nicky\u2019s one tough dolphin and she recovered within a couple of months.<br \/>\nShe\u2019s known to have amazing maternal instincts and though she may not have calves of her own, she is usually seen taking the role as the \u2018auntie\u2019, babysitting the young ones born to the other dolphin mums in her maternal group.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1101\" src=\"https:\/\/www.borneoecotours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/15042028_10154603936490120_1441732214320179288_o.jpg\" alt=\"15042028_10154603936490120_1441732214320179288_o\" width=\"571\" height=\"844\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.borneoecotours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/15042028_10154603936490120_1441732214320179288_o.jpg 1289w, https:\/\/www.borneoecotours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/15042028_10154603936490120_1441732214320179288_o-203x300.jpg 203w, https:\/\/www.borneoecotours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/15042028_10154603936490120_1441732214320179288_o-693x1024.jpg 693w, https:\/\/www.borneoecotours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/15042028_10154603936490120_1441732214320179288_o-768x1135.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.borneoecotours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/15042028_10154603936490120_1441732214320179288_o-1039x1536.jpg 1039w, https:\/\/www.borneoecotours.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/15042028_10154603936490120_1441732214320179288_o-720x1064.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 571px) 100vw, 571px\" \/><br \/>\nBorneo Eco Tours currently have four adopted animals under our wing and we will definitely grow our wildlife family in years to come.
