Dolphin Adventures (Full Show) - SeaWorld Orlando - July 11, 2024

#animalkingdom #nature #kingdomofthedolphin #dolphin
This dolphin show was quite unique in that was done entirely by the second pod of the dolphins consisting of Brigg, Scott, Clyde, Jackson, Hutch, and Marble. The kid who volunteered to meet a dolphin at 9:10 was pretty scared of the dolphins as well!
This pod initially only did the finale of the show when Dolphin Adventures debuted and I'm glad that now any social group of dolphins can do any segment! See below for highlights:

0:09 Intro starting with Marble's front flip
- 0:50 Clyde's vspin! Look at his open mouth!
- 1:50 Hutch's belly breaches! I really wish more bottlenose knew this.

2:58 Dolphin Introduction and Adaptations, starting with Brigg's ventral bows
- 3:58 Dolphin vocals

5:35 Waterworks starting with Marble and his trainer at the glass
- 7:00 Marble pec dance
- 8:12 Marble's human hurdle! I believe this is the first time I've seen him do this

9:10 An extremely shy kid volunteers to meet Scott
- 9:30 Normally they shake hands with the dolphin but he didn't want to get too close so they waved at each other
- 10:05 Feeding Scott after much hesitation
- 10:50 Giving Scott a back rub, then shortly after Scott is asked to splash him. I felt he was just starting to get comfortable around Scott so I felt bad that this happened!
- 11:48 The kid asks Scott to high jump

14:50 Finale starting with Scott's high jump
- 15:48 Scott's position tailwalk
- 16:53 All the dolphins bow together!
