Hello everyone and welcome to Marineland. We have a great show lined up for you today, because King Waldorf
has given us a challenge. He has hidden special objects around the castle with the marine mammals with help of
the marine mammal staff we will collect to be able to open the chest. So let’s see how they do.
So take a look around the castle. Do you see any objects? It could be a ball, a book, some rings? Let me know if
you see anything.
Oh it looks like Holly the sea lion has found the first object.
Holly, where are you going? You just left the first object in the middle of the pool. What, you’re not going to get
it, that’s pretty embarrassing. I guess we need to call out one of our other sea lion friends to see if they can find
it.
And it looks like Maui no trouble finding that object. And here comes Maui and Holly back to the stage.
Welcome our two sea lions and that object.
That was very impressive Holly. And now Malibu is going to take that first object off stage and we’ll see if she
can find another.
And it looks like Malibu has found that next object. You don’t see it? Look behind you.
That was pretty cool Malibu. Now let’s see if the sea lions can work together to do something with those rings.
Three for three. A job well done for Malibu, Maui and Holly, the California sea lions.
Now let’s wave goodbye to Maui and Holly.
Now it’s time to bring out our next marine mammals. Please join me in welcoming two of Marineland’s Beluga
whales, Charmin and Tofino.
Now that we’ve seen what our Beluga whales can do it’s time to start looking for the next object. But the
Belugas are going to need some help so I am looking for the most excited person who wants to meet a Beluga
whale. The young lady upfront with the purple sweatshirt wearing the and white poncho you can make your way
down to the platform over here.
If you didn’t get to meet a Beluga whale today we still have two more shows at three o’clock and five fifteen. Or
you can head out to Friendship and Arctic coves to visit our other Beluga whales.
While you’re out there you may notice that some of them are grey that’s because Beluga whales are born grey
and lose pigment in their skin as they become older to become the beautiful white colour that you can see here
with Charmin and Tofino.
