Sea Lions, Dolphins and WHALphins Oh My!

We went to Sea Life Park today. It was really hot out but we saw some great shows and cool animals! This is an Atlantic Bottlenose dolphin jumping for us! Now compare this picture with the one below it.. What does that look like? A dolphin? A whale? A Whalphin....?


That's right! It's a whalphin! What is a whalphin you ask? Well it's half whale half dolphin! How does this happen you might ask? Well, when a whale loves a dolphin they have a baby.. Either that or someone accidentally leaves the whale in the dolphin tank! Yeah- she was a suprise, not an experiment. But she weighs about 1200 pounds and is dark, almost black like her father- a false killer whale. Her mom was a dolphin! She is the highest jumper at the park, just look at her! She was amazing!

The sea lions were pretty cool too! This was feeding time!

Look! I'm riding a dolphin!

Daddy said this sea lion is whale food! I am sure sea lions are good for more than that!



They even have penguins at the park! This one was so cute swimming around in his little pool.

After all that fun at the park, I saw the stingrays swimming around! Man, sea animals are cool!
