We're happy that you came to DRC and that you enjoyed your visit. Thanks so much. We are very dedicated to our research, education and conservation mission, as you saw. Above all, the care of the dolphins and sea lions is always our top priority. To that end, the athletic behaviors (what some often call tricks) are all part of that care and enrichment for the animals.

Thanks again.
