baby dolphin Penny play fetch with a fish in 1990

Penny was one of the best little dolphins I ever knew. She had such a amazing and playful personality. In the video, she would bring over a fish to play fetch with (over and over again, until nothing was left of the fish, then she would go around the pool to get another fish from a guest to play with). Penny loved to play. I loved this dolphin so much, and was so sad to hear of her death in 2004. She was only 15 years old when she passed away. Her mother Jenny, and calf Copper are still alive. Also seen in this video, Penny trying to get my mom to play with her (my mother was holding the camera, and did not want to chance getting it wet).

Nice collection of old videos you have of SeaWorld San Diego. Wow, from looking at old photos of videos of the park that are all pre-2000, the park has definitely changed over the years. Again, nice video collection including this video you have of your interaction with penny.

@marinebeauties12 Thank you Jenna for your nice comments. I enjoy your videos so much (both with your marinebeauties12 account and your past animaltrainer account. I like how you take the time to know each animal encounter you have, and how you make it into a personal story about the special animal you met.

@Lucatheking16 Hi, this was at SeaWorld San Diego around 1990. This old pool is now long long, it was were the new Rocky Point pool sits today. Thank you for your question and viewing my video.

Do you have a park map from this time? I would love to see what the park was like back then!
