Allie, an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin at the Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley, is expecting a calf in the summer of 2010. The pregnancy was confirmed during an ultrasound Nov. 13.

Twenty-two-year-old Allie arrived at the zoo in January 2008 and is on loan from the Brookfield Zoo in Chicago. Father-to-be Semo has been at the zoo since 1991, and at age 45 is thought to be one of the oldest male dolphins in human care.
