Day 210
We had planned to leave the marina this morning but
decided to stay another day. The beach and
Marineland Dolphin Adventure Park are just across the street.
The park is one of Florida’s first marine mammal parks
opening in 1938. Half of the park covers
sea turtles and sharks, and the other half is all dolphins. If you would like to experience firsthand what
it’s like to be close to the dolphins, you can put on a snorkel, goggles, and
life vest and swim and interact with them.
Did you Know………..
Atlantic bottlenose dolphins have 72-104 teeth, but never
chew their food.
Dolphins don’t make any noises with their mouth, and in
fact, they don’t even have vocal cords.
All sounds come through the dolphin’s blowhole.
A dolphin uses its lower jaw and teeth as an
antenna. Echolocation allows dolphins to
use sound to “see” underwater. In fact,
a dolphin can tell which direction a scuba diver is facing from a distance of
one football field away.
