A CRUMBLING CASE FOR CETACEAN CAPTIVITY?

The young man in the red shirt and red and black sweatshirt you can make your way down to the… make your
way down to the platform over here.
If you haven’t been out to Friendship Cove today make sure you visit our killer whale, Kiska. To biologists, killer
whales are considered members of the dolphin family.
Also make sure you visit our seals at the aquarium. There we have four harbour seals and a grey seal.
Today our volunteers will be meeting Tsunami.
Dolphins are very high energy but they’re also very tactile and they love to be touched and rubbed. So one of
the first things our volunteers will be doing is petting Tsunami.
If you ever wondered what a dolphin feels like it’s kind of like a wet rubber inner tube.
Our volunteer is petting Tsunami on her tail also known as her flukes.
Next they’ll be feeding her a fish.
Here at Marineland our Bottlenose dolphins eat a diet of capelin, herring and some gelatin.
Now it looks like Tsunami is up and looking for the next object. She is searching around and making her way back
now. And she has found it. Another one of King Waldorf’s objects has been collected.
For a job well done (muffled).
And a big goodbye so Tsunami can get back to the show.
And we will give our volunteers a souvenir so they can always remember meeting Tsunami the Bottlenose
dolphin. Thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers today.
Don’t worry there are still some high flying ariels to come from Sonar, Marina, Echo and of course Tsunami.
If you point your cameras to our centre slide-out you can get a picture pose of our Bottlenose dolphins.
And one more time. Another picture for… (muffled).
And let’s hear it again for Sonar, Marina Tsunami, Echo, and Lida.
So we’ve found several objects from around the castle. Let’s see if it was enough to be able to open King
Waldorf’s chest.
And we were able to do it. Teamwork between the marine mammal staff and all the marine mammals was the
way to open that chest.
On behalf of the marine mammal staff, California sea lions, Beluga whales and Bottlenose dolphins, we wish you
a whale of a day here at Marineland.
Bye Bye for now.
