Wong:
A first in Kyiv, Ukraine to show you. The city hosted its first-ever dolphin and whale show. Let's take a look.

STORY:
White whales Larik and Prosha are not only good dancers, but also artists, their drawings have even found customers willing to pay for their original works.

Datyna has been training these large fishy mammals for over eight years and is very familiar with the temperament of each.

[Datyna Ipolitova, Trainer, Aquatic Mammals]:
Very often they start to work out their performance by themselves. They synchronize with each other without needing a trainer. Or they start an arguement like people.

Datyna's favorite and the only female in the troop is a cow named Flora. Flora is very proud and works very hard while Larik is a little bit lazy and Prosha likes to play and communicate.

The audience also can swim in the pool with the mammals. Some Doctors say swimming with dolphins and whales can elevate one's mood and even cure illnesses.

Journalists at the opening show noticed the effect of close interaction with the large, gentle mammals.

[Journalist]:
If I could compare it to anything, I would compare it to space. These creatures are so unique and they spread such a positive energy. It feels like a miracle.

[Journalist]:
I dont know anything about dolphin therapy, but I felt that I became thinIt was kissing my back. It's so pleasant. I feel this is the most beautiful creature.

[Journalist]:
The only thing I could feel in the cold water was warmth and tenderness from the dolphins and whales. They swam beneath and held me up. Im not a good swimmer and the white whales several times held me, I was standing on their backs.

The dolphins and whales show will stay in Kyiv till summer, and then travel to the south.

NTD, Kyiv, Ukraine.

  • Why do I care if a whale can hold a ball in it's mouth he or she should be free to go catch fish and live and be happy not made a slave!

  • he should be hanging his ugly head in shame! majestic animals abused by uncivilised sub-humans, so typical of this world. will man ever evolve into HUman????

  • yes, dolphins are great therapists, however, they belong in the SEA not a fucking chlorinated swimming pool! SHAME ON YOU!!!

  • Where does man think he's got the right to do what ever he wants with wildlife! Who died and made us king of the world arrogant assholes. These creatures have just as much right to be here as we do if not more they're not screwing up the planet like we are!
