JUMP !!!!!
Found a video from the new dolphin presentation in the newly renovated Dolphinarium (20 yrs old) at Brookfield Zoo - I'm not sure why, but I get very emotional when I see the dolphins perform and end up with tears streaming down my face. They are such magnificent creatures. God did good !!
Watch Tapeko hit the ball hanging from the ceiling.
If you think it's easy to follow these dolphins during the show to get them on video, well think again - LOL - and you gotta love the "tail walk"
Enjoy
Tapeko, 28; and her two daughters, Noelani, 6; and Allison, 4
On loan from the Minnesota Zoo, Spree, an 8-year-old female dolphin
One male, Chinook
Brookfield Zoo celebrates 50 yrs of housing dolphins this year - wow !
Special note - from the Brookfield Zoo website
