r/worldnews - Dolphin mom adopts whale calf—a first: "The orphaned calf even learned to act like a bottlenose dolphin, gaining acceptance into the community. Adoption is uncommon among wild mammals, with most occurring between related members of the same species."

This happens all the time and always has. Humans are poor at observation. No. It actually doesnt. In fact, in the vast majority of cases the dominant adult male will kill calves that arent specifically it's own kid, to mitigate their gene pool threat. You're anthropomorphizing animal behaviors.
