Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphin

Gilly was an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin (*Tursiops truncatus*) that lived in SeaWorld Orlando.

On May 10th, 1994, a young calf was spotted in Port Isabel, Texas without any other dolphins. The calf also had a gillnet stuck on his face. Named Gilly after the net, he was rescued and kept temporarily in a tank at the Hung Shrimp Farm's Lone Star Hatchery. SeaWorld has involved in the case, but didn't accept Gilly until blood tests were done to ensure that he didn't carry the mobilli virus. Once it was confirmed that Gilly didn't have the virus about three weeks after his rescue, he was moved to SeaWorld San Antonio. Gilly was moved to Orlando in 2019.

He died on October 20,2022 due to cancer.

### Species

Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphin

Donley is an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin (*Tursiops truncatus*) that currently lives at the Long Marine Laboratory. He was rescued by the Texas Marine Mammal Stranding Network on November 3rd, 2009.

Donley was first sighted on a sandbar in Port Aranas, Texas by a citizen, who called the TMMSN. When Donley was found, he was bruised, malnourished, and covered in rake marks from other dolphins. He also had a hairline fracture on his left side. Donley was first brought to the Texas State Aquarium before being brought to TMMSN Galveston, where he was rehabilitated. Donley didn't take to bottle feeding, so he was sometimes tube-fed. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration declared Donley non-releasable, due to his young age at the time of his stranding. On March 4th, 2010, Donley was moved to SeaWorld San Antonio so he could be with others of his kind. He stayed there until May 20th, 2017, when he was moved to SeaWorld San Diego. At the time, another dolphin named Primo was living at SeaWorld San Diego. Primo was owned by the Long Marine Laboratory, and was temporarily living at SeaWorld while the dolphin habitats at the lab were being renovated. When the renovations were complete, Primo was moved back to the lab on August 30th, 2017 and Donley and another dolphin named Rain joined him.

Gulliver

Photo taken at either Marineland or Mote Marine Laboratory.

Gulliver is an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin (*Tursiops truncatus*) that was rescued on January 19th, 1997.

Gulliver stranded on Crescent Beach near St. Augustine, Florida. He was taken to Marineland Dolphin Adventure for rehabilitation. He began eating and swimming quickly, but would often remain still at the surface of the water. Marineland believed his recovery would be enhanced by a larger pool. As such, he was transported to the Mote Marine Laboratory on March 8th, 1997. Gulliver continued to recover and on May 20th, 1997, he was released about 35 miles east of Port Canaveral. He was tracked by a satellite transmitter for 47 days after release. By the time the tracking stopped, Gulliver had moved to an area near the eastern Caribbean island of Barbuda.
Kharabali

Kharabali (2014 – 12 December 2023) was a female beluga that lived in Mystic Aquarium. She was a captive beluga who was part of a group of five belugas who were transported from Marineland park in Canada to the U.S. in 2021. Kharabali is the third beluga whale in this group to have died since being transported, all of whom likely had underlying conditions prior to the move.

Kharabali, who arrived at the aquarium from Canada's Marineland in May 2021, was around 9 and a half years old, a spokesperson of the aquarium, told USA TODAY. Belugas can live up to 90 years, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

"This loss weighs heavily on us, especially our animal care staff," said Mystic Aquarium in a statement on social media. "It is defeating and disheartening as the team works fiercely and with immense compassion to ensure these whales receive world-class care in sickness and health."

Kharabali began to exhibit abnormal swimming in November, said the aquarium, prompting their husbandry team and veterinarians to examine the animal. As the aquarium staff tried to understand what was wrong with her health, Kharabali's strange behavior continued to progress, said the aquarium, so they moved her to the holding pool and eventually to the intensive care facility at the Aquatic Animal Study Center at Mystic Aquarium, where she remained for 11 days before she passed.

Mystic Aquarium said that the facility's veterinary and animal care teams "spared no effort" in trying to save the whale, providing her with round-the-clock medical treatment and monitoring. A spokesperson told USA TODAY that the aquarium's staff spent hours in 20 degrees water, holding the whale to help her sustain her blowhole over the water.

"Despite intensive care for multiple health issues and all life-saving efforts, she passed away in the company of the dedicated Mystic Aquarium team that had been by her side throughout," said the aquarium in their statement.

Kharabali's exact cause of her death will be known after a necropsy is conducted, said the aquarium.

Chief Zoological Officer at Mystic Aquarium Dr. Allison Tuttle said that Kharabali's "spirit touched us all" and that they are "heartbroken by her passing".

Benny stranded in Corolla, North Carolina and was taken to the National Marine Fisheries Service lab in Beaufort. When he first arrived at the NMFS lab, Benny was unable to swim, wouldn't eat, and was suffering from a bacterial infection and liver disease/trauma. After about a week and a half, he began eating and swimming. On October 20th, 1995, Benny was moved to the Mote Marine Laboratory due to a lack of appropriate facilities at the NMFS lab. While at the Mote Marine Lab, it was found that Benny was severely immunocompromised and he was not making significant improvement.

On January 26th, 1996, the decision was made to euthanize Benny. A necropsy found that he was suffering from severe intestinal disease.

Jade was an offshore Atlantic bottlenose dolphin (*Tursiops truncatus*) that was rescued on June 26th, 2002.

Jade stranded on an Island in the St. John's River near Jacksonville, Florida. She was transported by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to a waiting SeaWorld truck, that then transported her to the Mote Marine Laboratory. Jade had a large shark bite on the left side of her chest, and was not swimming on her own. Tests indicated that she was suffering from a severe infection.

At 1:30 in the morning on June 29th, 2002, Jade died. A necropsy suggested that the cause of death was an overwhelming infection (bacteremia or septicemia) that possibly originated from the shark bite.
Feeny

Photo taken by and at the Mote Marine Laboratory.

Feeny was an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin (*Tursiops truncatus*) that was rescued on September 17th, 2015.

Feeny was first documented by the Sarasota Dolphin Research Program in 1988, at which point he was already an adult. He stranded in an area of Tampa Bay called Cockroach Bay, where he was spotted by anglers. The anglers called the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), who then called the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Staff from the FWC and the Clearwater Marine Aquarium responded to the stranding, where they assessed if Feeny was strong enough to be released right then and there. They determined that he needed to recover at a rehabilitation facility, so he was brought to the Mote Marine Laboratory. Because he was an older male dolphin, Feeny was named after Mr. Feeny from the sitcom "Boy Meets World". When he arrived at the lab, Feeny was underweight, dehydrated, and suffering from pneumonia, infection, anemia, and other metabolic abnormalities. Within a few days, he did begin swimming on his own, eating, and playing with his enrichment devices.

Though he was showing signs of improving, Feeny never fully recovered from his health issues. A few days before his passing, Feeny became disoriented and started leaning to one side. He died on October 11th, 2015. Ultrasound examinations and blood samples revealed that Feeny's blood cells were not regenerating. He had also been losing weight, which was unusual since he was on a high-calorie diet.

Hemingway was suffering from intestinal problems, but could swim a little bit and was interested in food. However, he was found to have severe heart problems.

Due to his cardiovascular issues, Hemingway was humanely euthanized on March 8th, 2000. A necropsy confirmed that he had severe heart problems.

Hope

Photo taken by and at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium.

Hope is an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin (*Tursiops truncatus*) that currently lives at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. She was rescued on December 11th, 2010.

Hope was found swimming in the Indian River Lagoon, still attempting to nurse from the body of her deceased mother. She was estimated to be two months old. Hope was rescued and taken to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. It was decided that Hope did not make a good candidate for release due to her young age at the time of her rescue. In 2012, Hope was introduced to Winter and Panama. Panama died in 2013 and Hope is currently housed with Winter and P.J.

In 2014, a dramatized film titled *Dolphin Tale 2* that detailed the events of Hope's rescue was released. Hope plays herself in the movie. The film differs significantly from real events; Hope was rescued several years before Panama died.

Dallas

Photo taken by and at the Mote Marine Laboratory.

Dallas was a pygmy killer whale (*Feresa attenuata*) that was rescued on June 15th, 2008.

Dallas was found near Boca Grande, Florida about five hours after another adult male pygmy whale named Pete was found in the same area. Like Pete, Dallas was rescued by staff from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Committee and the Florida Marine Mammal Stranding Network and taken to the Mote Marine Laboratory. Dallas was very weak upon arriving at the lab and was suffering from infection and parasites. Further testing showed that he also had an abscess in his brain. Dallas also dealt with pneumonia and digestive issues, though he began to recover from these.

On the evening of September 3rd, 2008, Dallas unexpectedly died. A necropsy revealed severe pneumonia, two healing brain lesions, and healed gastric ulcers. The cause of death was thought to be toxic shock due to the pneumonia.
Grumpy

Grumpy was a rough-toothed dolphin (*Steno bradanensis*) that was rescued on August 7th, 2004.

Grumpy stranded on Hutchinson Island, Florida with 37 other rough-toothed dolphins. All were pushed back into the water, but they all re-stranded. Grumpy and six other rough-toothed dolphins were brought to the Mote Marine Laboratory for rehabilitation. Because there were seven of them, they were named after the seven dwarfs. The remaining dolphins were euthanized on the beach. Grumpy arrived at the lab with severe pneumonia, liver problems, and wounds. He was also emaciated.

A few days after rescue on August 10th, 2004, Grumpy died. A necropsy revealed red fluid in his chest, pericardial sac, and abdomen, as well as severe changes to his lungs.

Bolt

Photo taken at the Mote Marine Laboratory by Conor Goulding.

Bolt was a melon-headed whale (*Peponocephala electra*) that was rescued on September 4th, 2018.

Bolt was found stranded on Longboat Key, Florida. Two pygmy killer whales had stranded nearby a few days earlier, and Bolt was originally presumed to be another pygmy killer whale. It took a few days to determine that he was a very similar looking melon-headed whale. He was assumed to be an older animal due to the scarring on his body and the wear on his teeth. Bolt immediately began swimming on his own when he arrived, but bloodwork showed that he was very sick.

On the morning of September 7th, 2018, Bolt was humanely euthanized. Bolt's condition had rapidly declined the previous night.

Ariel left Marineland and her mother shortly before her ninth birthday on March 26th, 2001. Her half brother Razzle, who was also sired by Davy II, moved with her. When they arrived in Orlando, the pair mated, resulting in Ariel giving birth to her first calf, Alpha, on April 19th, 2002. Razzle was shortly moved after this, possibly to prevent more inbreeding. Ariel’s next calf was a female named Cinco who was born in 2005. Unfortunately, she passed away the next year. Ariel gave birth to another daughter on July 26th, 2011. This calf, named Aurora, lived with her mother for five years before she was transferred to Discovery Cove. Ariel’s youngest calf, Archer, was born on March 31st, 2014. At the age of two, Archer was briefly transported to Discovery Cove, but he was returned to Orlando after around eight months.
