Wow she looks so gorgeous in this pic. None of the little dots she had at RPP. I think she looks so much like mom in this photo!

Oh! That is a lovely picture!!! I love the colors and smooth shiny-ness of it! And the water looks cool! (I'm so thirsty now T_T) Dolphins are so beautiful and they all seem gentle to me. Even some of the wild dolphins seem so gentle. They're awesome animals! Do you work at SeaWorld in Orlando?

Yea she and the baby are quite a contrast to the four show boys in the pool next door. Those boys rough each other up so much.

I think I just read about your Puka in a book

Randy and Peter established a correction signal, "Negative!" a most useful training device. They could say "Puka, hoop, okay," and then say, "Negative," and the dolphin would stop. Also, and I do think this shows intelligence on the part of the animal, they could say, "Puka, jump. Negative. Hoop. Okay," and Puka would go through the hoop instead of obeying the negated command.

That's quite interesting, though I don' t know if Puka was ever taught that. We didn't have any sort of language type behaviors with him, that I knew about, anyway. He may have been doing that sort of stuff with the Navy.

Yea it said he was in the Navy. No idea though. IT WILL REMAIN A MYSTERYYY

SonicAmygirl [2007-01-13 04:35:52 +0000 UTC]

Aww ^^ Dolphins are always so cute. Reminds me of a story I read on Dolphins a few years back where a guy saves a baby dolphin from a harpoon and the parents protect him from a shark. Congradulations for Mama bear and her first baby. Did she have a girl or a boy?

Cute shot. I love phins from head on. Reminds me of the ones I get doing the dolphin part of our Marine Mammal Keeper Experience program and the dolphins are popping up in front of me to see what I'm doing about two inches from falling into their pool. XD

Right after I took that photo (I was stainding over her on a ledge, obviously) she and her mom both decided, for whatever reason, to spit water on me hahaha
