Dolphin Discovery Grand Cayman is thrilled to announce the recent birth of a bouncing baby girl dolphin. The new calf, born to mother Allegria, is the first baby dolphin to be born in the Grand Cayman dolphinarium. The birth took place under the care of veternarian Juan Franco and the Department of Agriculture was present at this exciting event.
Juan Franco reported, “The dolphin calf is healthy and very playful, and visitors really enjoy the site of the newborn frolicking with her mother.”
Dolphin Discovery is proud of our successful breeding program, bringing healthy dolphins into the world under the care of experienced professionals. The program is recognized around the world for the expertise in caring for the newborn calves and their mothers. The level of care is state of the art, exceeding the standards of the US Department of Agriculture. All Dolphin Discovery parks adhere to the much higher standards set by the AMMPA (Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks and Aquariums). Dolphin Discovery is dedicated to education and respect for marine mammals, continually striving to build an ecological awareness in the guests of the parks and the employees of the company.
Welcome to the world baby girl, may you frolic happily in the paradise of Grand Cayman for many years to come!
