Tina (#14): Tina is one of everyone’s favorite dolphins as she is easy to ID and very playful- with passengers and with other dolphins! First seen in 2002, she is sometimes seen in the company of Leslie (#80) and Nemo (#76). Recognized by the large spot and vertical scars on the left side of her peduncle, she often very curious about our camera but occasionally completely oblivious!

HOLIDAY SPECIAL: Adopt Tina for $35 for a full year
and receive a copy of the children’s book Pearl the Pink Dolphin.
Pearl is a children’s fairy tale written by Tony Guzzi
and illustrated by Tom Guzzi of Guzzi Studios.The story focuses on a young
dolphin named Pearl
who, unlike her friends and family, is born pink instead of gray. Pearl
changes her looks to fit in, only to find she was liked for who she already
was.
