Description Katina and Nalani (Makaio behind)
It's so cute when they do this. We usually sit on the far right side of the stadium, but my fiance wanted to give me a challenge, so we sat in the very center at the very top.

Yup, he's cute like that. But that's not Makiao XD. His dorsal fin isn't flopped over like that. That's one of the other girls.

Such a wonderful photograph. They are really cute as well. Orcas are so beautiful with those black and white markings.

Thank you. They are such beautiful and intelligent creatures. We can learn so much from them.

I still remember watching dolpins when I was young. My family had travelled to "KolmΓ₯rden" one of the largest zoological parks in Sweden. We can learn from them as well.

Even wild dolphins learn. Scientists had taken in an injured wild dolphin that spent some time with the "tame" dolphins when it got better. When they later found it after they had placed it back with its pack they found out that some of the dolphins now had learned to "walk" on the water with only the tailfin underneath. A trick that "tame" dolphins often is teached to perform. The wild one must have watched and learned and then learned its pack.

For sure. All animals learn by observation, big or small. Glad you like the pictures. We go to SeaWorld at least once a month since we live in Orlando and have Fun Passes which allow us to go all year without paying admittance. My fiance and I both love seeing them, and we like talking to the trainers when we have a chance. There will be more in the future

My fiance and I go to SeaWorld at least once a month. We go see the orcas every time. We could spend hours watching them.
