Dolphin Cove & Stingray City

Photos from today's adventure...

Lucky, a 4-year old male dolphin, likes to show off for us before we begin the session.

Lucky can jump about 16 feet in the air, and he weighs about 200 pounds. 

In captivity, dolphins can live as long as 45 years according to our assigned trainer.

Lucky was very affectionate, and he liked touches (but not around the blow hole).

A little dolphin affection.

Doing the dolphin dance.

Look at that dolphin face... I believe he likes the camera.

Wow!  What a big stingray.  You should only touch from the sides... that barbed ray can hurt.

A little stingray kiss?

I'm glad this guy was friendly.

I made a few friends of  the "sea creature" variety today.  It was fun, and stingrays and dolphins have soft skin.
