[LadyVanDaele]

Shes such a cute dolphin! I saw her in Florida last month! :D

[xleslayx12]

[theMEGZ516]

[aubreyda]

How come she's all alone? That tank seems super lonely and boring.

[princehubab]

so cute but so sad it's probably saying "get me out of here it's too small"

[bodysurf1able]

so cute n healthy. hopefully she gets to socialize with other dolphins soon. I'd love to work with her. just great she was rescued.

[iamsamshope]

It's so adorable how she likes to let herself sink to the bottom of the pool and then she comes back up and likes to float. She is so adorable! :-)

[mermaidBeth]

SOOOO CUTE!!!!!

[chloe20001221]

How is winter????

[quelita28]

How big is she and are the dolphins taken to the marina to swim a bit?

They should since the aquarium is in the middle of the water.

[MsMad25]

I really want to me Winter, Panama, & Hope! Why is hope there though? What's wrong with her???? I know Winter has no tail, and Panama's deaf but what's wrong with Hope?

[patriciaamor711]

i  like

[Voesyy]

Is it just me, or does she float whenever she stops swimming. Like at 4:40.

Do all dolphins float,because I've only ever seen them whe they're always moving?

[patriciaamor711]

it is you

[sainegve]

he is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooo cute I realy want to visit the Clear Water Marin Aquerium even if I live in California.

[djgzay1000]

what a gorgeous little dolphin I want her can I have her

[LitasBikinisMiami]

do you give him things to play with ? please get decorations for your tanks i am sure with the money you make of these animals you can afford it it needs decorations !

[AmericanBeachDogs]

@LitasBikinisMiami I understand your concerns. I don't work at the Aquarium. I was just there to visit. I don't know why they don't put "decorations" in the tank. Maybe Dolphins don't care about decorations (??), I don't know. I do know that they don't make money off of the animals. It's a non profit, rescue hospital. The money they make goes to feeding, care and medical treatment for the animals. They do give Hope lots of toys to play with. You should go to their website to learn more.

[patriciaamor711]

it is a gil

[LitasBikinisMiami]

he looks really bored ! like he is doing this just to be doing comething

[LitasBikinisMiami]

is this were you keep him all the time ?

[LitasBikinisMiami]

why arethere no decorations inside his tank its so plain and boring

[LitasBikinisMiami]

Why do they make him work so much? he is to little to be working so much and taking orders

[AmericanBeachDogs]

@LitasBikinisMiami Not sure why you ask why they make her work so much by watching this video. There was no one making her do anything that you see in this video. She was playing, swimming, jumping, putting her tail up in the air, all on her own.

[avatarelite]

@AmericanBeachDogs LitasBikinisMiami probably thought the whistling sound in this song was commands to the dolphin. =)

[paigelovergirl]

@LitasBikinisMiami You know that Hope is a she, right? She isn't a boy.

[missinthespotlight]

@LitasBikinisMiami They are simply training baby Hope behaviours and keeping her occupied. They don't want her to get bored. Like AmericanBeachDogs said, she is playing and having fun on her own, or doing behaviours her trainers have asked. Most dolphin trainers use only positive reinforcement, meaning when they do something wanted, they praise them or pet them or give them a treat, but when they do something other than what is asked, they are simply encouraged to do the behaviour better.

[10Itoruna]

She should be on Dancing with the Stars, cause that dolphinette's got some moves!

[lilshamroc1]

what happened to hope??

[AmericanBeachDogs]

@lilshamroc1 Clearwater Marine Aquarium got a call that a baby dolphin needed to be rescued. She was found trying to nurse from her mother who had died. She was 2 to 3 months of age at the time of her rescue and weighed only 58 pounds. She was brought to the aquarium and was given 24 hour care by staff and volunteers and was fed every two hours. Now she's very healthy and is given lots of love and attention. They have lots of toys for her to play with and she seems very happy.

[dolphyn2]

She's growing so fast, I saw her when she was 5 months, so cute, so much personality!!! Thanks for sharing.

[weprikjm]

Dolphins tend to swim about 40 km a day. Good job :)

[sainegve]

does Hope know Winter

[mickeymouse12678]

:3

[habibirusso]

Is so beautiful and adorable, I cant wait to go to Florida so, I can see HOPE, GOD bless all the people that takes good care of his creation. Love it.

[sainegve]

cute

[Ethanwilredmon]

DOLPHIN CRAPED AT 3:05

[quelita28]

She is very cute. I am glad the staff in the aquarium cares so much about her and didn't abandon her. Doesn't she play with toys? Whatever happened to Indy,is he well and still alive?

[TheSnowyice]

@quelita28 On the side bar, like the fourth video down. I'm pretty sure that one's Indy right? idk

[AmericanBeachDogs]

@TheSnowyice - No it's not Indy, I read that Indy passed away in March 2011, before we were there visiting at the aquarium, when I took the video of Winter and of Hope. : (

[AmericanBeachDogs]

@quelita28 - I have watched Hope on the webcam at the CMA website and I see that she has lots of different toys they give her to play with. It's cute to watch her playing with 'em. Sadly, I read on the CMA website that Indy passed away in March 2011.

[LanaLight888]

She's very nice ! Very nice video

[AmericanBeachDogs]

@LanaLight888 - Thanks for the nice comment.

[LitasBikinisMiami]

@AmericanBeachDogs this is so mean i hate aquariums 8( ! i cant believe this is were they have to spend the rest of their lives in that little tank never to go back to the ocean 8( i would go insane !

[AmericanBeachDogs]

@LitasBikinisMiami This aquarium is a Marine Animal Rescue Hospital. They rescue, rehabilitate and release marine animals. If these Dolphins that reside there could survive in the wild they would release them. Since the ones that live there would die in the wild, they have been given a home, given lots of attention, medical care, food, love and interaction.

[LitasBikinisMiami]

@LanaLight888 why do they make the dolphins work so much 8(

[dalekal]

she is adorable,and CMA have done an amazing job with her,when she came in she was in trouble and like winter she has put faith and hope in us humans ,great video

[AmericanBeachDogs]

@dalekal - CMA DOES do an amazing job helping these poor dolphins when they rescue and rehabilitate them. Giving them a home when they are unable to survive in the wild and rehabilitating and releasing the ones that can survive on their own. They also help other sea creatures that go through their doors needing help like Sea Turtles, Otters and other sea life.

[PerelandraCJ]

So cute and tiny! Great video!

[AmericanBeachDogs]

@PerelandraCJ - THANKS!
