Dolphin Days (Full Show) at SeaWorld San Diego on 8/28/15

Join us now as we share our passion for the majesty of the ocean and all it's wonderful animals. Welcome to Dolphin Days! I'm going to kick the energy up just a little bit right now. Clap your hands with me! The Dolphin Stadium hosted 12 bottlenose dolphins, ranging in age from 10 months to 36 years old. We love to care for these animals and celebrate each and every day with them. Are you ready to meet them? Don't get louder than that. Are you ready to meet them? We have Malibu. She's known for her California girl persona. She's pretty, athletic, and just a touch of diva. So give her a big wave hello as she gives everyone a big wave yes! Great job Malibu! And next up we have Melanie. She takes on the role of leader of the pack. At 600 pounds, she's our largest dolphin here at Dolphin Stadium. So look to the sky! Make some noise for Melanie! And next up we have Corona, who has a lot of energy. And she's swimming next to her friend Sammy, who is a mother of six. So check her out as they show off their speed around the entire perimeter of the pool. Great job Coco! She's one of our youngest dolphins here at Dolphin Stadium at six years old. But she has a lot of personality. Look to the sky! Dedicated trainers that care for these animals each and every day. Say hello to Brittany, Ashley, Tammy, Bridget, Ryan, and my name is Katie. Ladies and gentlemen, these animals have a lot of energy and love to have fun. So let's watch they show us how they celebrate life! Let's do it! Bop it! Bop it! Good afternoon everybody! I'm down here in the glass on your left hand side. My name is Jamie and I'm a trainer here at Dolphin Stadium. I was thinking about it the other day. Some of my earliest childhood memories were of my parents bringing me to SeaWorld. And I remember just sitting and watching the dolphins and trainers for hours. Just interacting with one another, learning and playing, and just having a good time. And I remember thinking way back then and there that that is exactly what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I wanted to spend it taking care of these amazing animals. And with a little bit of time and research I did find out that SeaWorld is a world leader in rescue rehabilitation marine mammals. So I figured they would be a perfect fit for me. And through a lot of work and dedication I made my dreams come true. And throughout my career I've had amazing opportunities to work with several different species of animals. But you know what? Along the way a few of those animals have become near and dear to my heart. In fact a few of them are swimming out here in the pool on stage right now. And I'd like you to introduce them to you. First of all, we have Sandy who's up on stage right now with Brittany. Sandy's our oldest dolphin and I was very privileged. She was the very first dolphin that I ever got in the water with. And that is very special to me. She's taught me so much. Now swimming over in the water over there with Bridget is Malibu. Malibu is an amazing teacher. She can make the most new trainer look amazing in the water. And I am so very thankful for everything that she has taught me. And now last but certainly not least is little Coco. Coco's swimming with Ashley. She is six years old. She is one of the youngest members of our dolphin family. She has such an energy and passion for learning. Everything that we teach her is new and it's fun. She gets so very excited. And I just love that about her. And it actually makes her a perfect ambassador for SeaWorld. It gives people like Olivia a very unique opportunity to get up close and interact with a dolphin. Hi Olivia, are you ready to meet Coco? Alright, come on up here and step all the way up. Alright, what we're going to do is we're going to have her say hello to you. So we're going to ask her first. So what you want to do is take your fingers just like this in front of her. And then bounce them up and down. Very nice, that's how dolphins say hello. Alright, now dolphins also really like back rubs. So let's give her a little line up here. And you can reach out and give her a nice back rub. What does she feel like? Soft rubber, that's a very good description. Alright, she's very excited to meet you. So what we're going to do now is we're going to give her one of her favorite little snacks which is a fish. Go ahead, take a hold of it, squish it a little bit. She likes it squishy. Now toss it in. Now smell your hand. Smell good? Like fish? Alright, you know how to get rid of that? Take your hand and rub them together. A little faster, a little faster, a little faster. Now do this. Very well done. You smell just like a trainer now. Alright, you know you've been a fantastic volunteer. But we're going to wave goodbye. So take both of your hands up in the air and wave at Coco. She's going to wave back. Let's hear it for my new friend Olivia Coco. Thank you very much. Thanks, Stevie. Well, you've already met some of our dolphins. But they are not the only animals that live here at Dolphin Stadium. It's time to meet short-finned pilot whales. Pilot whales are found in oceans throughout the world and are a close relative of both dolphins and killer whales. So right now, I'm going to introduce you to one of our pilot whales named Shadow. Shadow is about 32 years old. And while she loves spending time with her other pilot whale friends and her trainers, one thing she loves to do is interact with the dolphins here at Dolphin Stadium. Because she's known for her patient personality, when trainers start to swim with pilot whales, Shadow is the first whale they swim with. Pilot whales, too, have a zest for life. They're playful and curious, and we want them to be able to relate to us and vice versa. Now, one of their favorite things they love to do is playtime, which just happens to be a great way to develop that special relationship with them. So right now, I'd like to invite you to join in this special moment with Kendra and Shadow. Hello! And research here at SeaWorld, we're able to make a difference in the oceans that surround us. With our community, we share a passion and respect for the majesty of the oceans and all its beautiful animals. Together we make a spirit Our children too Ocean Can't be defeated We can This is my ocean This is my future My choice This ocean is mine This is our ocean This is our future Our specific is mine Inspiration and passion to care for animals came to us at a young age.
