Wilkommen (that's German for "welcome"), baby dolphin Doerrte!

Germany's Duisburg Zoo welcomed the little bottlenose dolphin, one of three dolphin babies born to different mothers at the zoo last month.

Doerrte seemed to be most outgoing, while the others preferred to take their first public swims in the background.  

Mother Delphi was also born at the Duisburg Zoo, Europe's biggest dolphinarium.
