watchin' Hope, the baby dolphin calf

A visit to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium where Hope, the dolphin calf lives. She was rescued at 2 months old when she was found trying to nurse from her mother that had died. She was brought to the Aquarium and as of May 2011 she was 7 months old, when we took this video. She is just playing and entertaining herself as we watched.

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 !

@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.

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.

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"

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.

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! :-)

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.

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?
