Live Captured dolphins transfered from Marineland South Australia.
Staff told us that these two dolphins were transferred from Marineland South Australia. The said both dolphins like to sleep in this location and we could see both were in fact sleeping (one eye open one eye closed). This area had a little more shaded areas due to the jetty and walkway joining above. However there is not much shade, we were also told they liked to sleep in the direct sun as well.
Later in the day when we asked about the dolphins that had been observed at other occasions as sticking their tongues out, we were told by staff that these two (the transferred dolphins from South Australia) When staff were questioned further about this we were told; it was a taught behaviour at Marineland and the dolphins probably continued the behaviour as it gave them attention from guests.
