April 2024 A-Z Challenge: U.S. Travel Chronicles [Dolphin Center]

#227



One of the most intelligent and adorable mammals on this planet, are dolphins. Quick learners, problem-solvers, and playful, it is always a joy to watch these ever-smiling creatures out in the water.


That is exactly what we did in the Dolphin Center in Florida, located in the Gulf of Mexico.


This nonprofit organization is home to several sea animals - sea lions, turtles, and predominantly dolphins, several of them being rescues. 


We enjoyed a spectacular hour-long show where the trainers made dolphins perform several tricks like mouth-painting, scavenger hunting, and doing standing backflips. 


It was exciting to witness several enthusiastic, competitive although in a friendly manner, and hardworking dolphins play around in the water and earn treats as rewards for the tasks they accomplished.
