Dolphin Research Center

Dolphin Research Center is an interactive and research facility that opened in the 1940s. They offer interactive programs and dolphin research focuses on cognition, behavior, and husbandry. As of November 3rd, 2022, they currently house one Atlantic spotted dolphin and twenty six bottlenose dolphins.

## Rehabilitated Animals

Note: Dolphin Research Center no longer accepts rehabilitated animals due to the presence of morbillivirus.

## Habitats

**Dolphin Lagoons**

This 10 pool sea pen habitat/interaction area currently houses the facility's only Atlantic spotted dolphin and all their bottlenose dolphins. The dolphins can be seen at all opening hours during presentations and interaction programs. This is one of the only places that offers in-water interaction programs with Atlantic spotted dolphins.

**Medical Pool**

This is a pool that isn't connected to the sea pen habitats, usually home to animals that are in quarantine or have other special needs.

Mother to two adorable children Delta and Diva, she still works hard to make sure all eyes are on her! She is a creative spirit and those who “do it her way” get screams of praise from her. Aleta’s favorite hobby is to test her trainers.  She thrives on deep, meaningful relationships – and has little patience for boring individuals."*

Bubbles was an approximately 53-year-old female Pacific short-finned pilot whale who lived at SeaWorld San Diego. She was captured from the Pacific Ocean in California on September 6th, 1966 at approxiamtely 3 years old.

Bubbles passed away due to chronic myocardial degeneration and fibrosis on June 9th, 2016 at SeaWorld San Diego.

Her history at Marineland of the Pacific is not well known, she was moved to SeaWorld San Diego after Marineland was purchased by SeaWorld. Due to the low risk of hybridization at Dolphin Amphitheater, Bubbles and Niner always lived with bottlenose dolphins until about 2012.

She was joined by Sully and Argo in 2011 and 2012 respectively. By then, they were more often than not in pilot whale only groups rather than multi-species. They knew many waterwork behaviors until the company decided to discontinue pilot whale waterworks in late 2015. Trainers often learned waterworks with Niner who was described as the more patient of the two, before beginning waterworks with Bubbles.

Bubbles unfortunately passed away in 2016 after living in captivity for 50 years, making her the current record holder of the oldest pilot whale in human care.

* *This article is about the genus Tursiops, also known as bottlenose dolphins. For the species, see common bottlenose dolphin.*

***Tursiops*** is an extant genus of oceanic dolphins more commonly known as **bottlenose dolphins**. The genus is comprised of 3 living species, 5 living subspecies, and 2 extinct species. They are widely considered to be the "archetypal" dolphin. Bottlenose dolphins are gregarious, and can often be seen approaching boats and bow riding. Due to their social nature, trainability and high survival rates, bottlenose dolphins are the most common species of cetacean kept in human care, with hundreds inhabiting zoos, aquariums and marine parks worldwide.

### Captivity

* *See also: Cetacean captivity*

Captive cetaceans are often trained to perform in shows and used in dolphin-swim programs. Some dolphins may be kept in petting pools so they can be touched and fed by the public.

### In Popular Media

* *See also: Cetaceans in media*

Bottlenose dolphins have starred in numerous movies and tv shows, such as *Jaws 3-D* and *Flipper*. Winter, a rescued bottlenose dolphin who became famous for surviving the amputation of her tail, starred in the movie *Dolphin Tale*, as well as its sequel *Dolphin Tale 2*.

### Military Usage

* *See also: Cetaceans in the military*

Since the mid-20th century, various militaries have utilized cetaceans, primarily bottlenose dolphins.

The largest military dolphin program is the United States Navy Marine Mammal Program, which currently houses 75 bottlenose dolphins. Bottlenose dolphins are also currently used by the Russian Military, and likely the North Korean Military as well. There are also unconfirmed reports that the Israel Defense Forces may also use bottlenose dolphins.

These four pilot whales were featured in pre-shows and by 2016, used in the former False killer whale segment of Blue Horizons. They moved to Orca Stadium in April 2017 stated by the park due to giving them more space, but they were also hitting and breaking gates at their previous home (Orca gates were more durable). Due to their Atlantic lineage compared to SeaWorld Orlando's Icelandic killer whales, it proved difficult to maintain suitable temperatures for both species. They never were in the same pools as the killer whales. Shortly after Fredi passed away in 2019, they moved to SeaWorld San Diego to join Argo, who was living with bottlenose dolphins.

This new group of four lived separately from the dolphins. Sadly, both Argo and Ace passed away in early 2022. In 2023, Ava and Piper began socialization with the other bottlenose dolphins at Dolphin Amphitheater.

Crissy is a 35+ year-old female beluga whale who currently lives at SeaWorld San Antonio. She was captured on July 16th, 1988 from Hudson Bay, Canada.

Crissy is unique in having given birth to twin calves. One of her twins, Bella lived until she was four years old and the other twin was stillborn. Twins are very rare in cetaceans and generally one or both don't survive the first year of life.

Crissy is described as a very relationship based animal with trainers and is quick to displace younger belugas, even during shows. Although she is very experienced in waterwork behaviors, she has not responded well to doing pec pushes instead of footpushes. When trainers do waterworks with Crissy post-2021, they generally swim themselves around without asking Crissy to move them.

Atla is a 13-year-old female beluga whale who currently lives at SeaWorld San Antonio. She was born there on June 23rd, 2010. Her mother is Luna and her father is Nanuq.

Atla's name is a reference to her mother's name, together referring to the Moon and planet Earth. She was Luna's first calf and was rejected by her mother and hand raised by trainers.

While at SeaWorld San Antonio, Atla learned to come up and make physical contact with people due to divers/performers from the Viva and Azul Show standing too close to the pools without paying attention. This habit of her's has since nearly been extinguished due to her time at Wild Arctic (generally only trainers walk by the pools) and the discontinuation of divers/performers at SeaWorld San Antonio.

Atla is sometimes seen in shows doing behaviors such as bows and sliding out but she has not demonstrated that she knows waterworks such as pec pushes and deep water mimic behaviors.
