After a lovely breakfast at The Stuffed Pig, we headed over to the Dolphin Research Center on Grassy Key where my videographer Kris and I got kisses, handshakes (fin shakes?) and a dance from a pair of dolphins -- Tina and Razz! And these weren't just any old dolphins...they were descendants of dolphin TV-icon Flipper! Watch Part 2 of our Florida in Focus" series on KBTVonline!
Ik vraag me af of je ooit weleens the Dolphin Research Center hebt bezocht?!?! Hoogstwaarschijnlijk was je antwoord wel wat anders geweest, als je wist waarover je praatte. Ik heb er gewerkt en ik kan uit de grond van mijn hart zeggen dat het de fijnste plek voor dolfijnen is, die opgegroeid zijn in gevangenschap.

The Dolphin Research Center has kept dolphins captive for years. Originally Santini's Porpoise School they captured and owned the movie Flipper Mitzi not the TV Flipper. Mitzi had no offspring so a Flipper descendant is untrue. Later u could ride Flipper. A very young Mitzi died shortly thereafter. Now under its more politically correct name it still keeps dolphins captive under the guise of education. Its unfortunate that reports like this supports dolphin captivity.

Watch Part 2 of our "Florida in Focus" series and learn a little more about an how Dolphins group together! Female dolphins hang together in the "Maternity Pod" to spawn baby dolphins and raise their young. The males/boys, however, stay in what's called the "Bachelor Pod" to go hunter gathering and to also...we found out later from the trainer, Daniel, go sniffing about for more pods of girls. ARGH! Just like human boys! Don't forget to leave your comments in the box provided!
