Dolphin Children’s Day #DiezMilSonrisas

// May 14th, 2013 // No Comments » // About Dolphins, Dolphins for kids

In Mexico, we celebrate Children´s day as an act that goes beyond the mere fact of celebrating this wonderful stage of life. Filled with laughter, learning, and memories, children’s day is a constant reminder of the social responsibility that has been granted to us to ensure the healthy formation of a child.

Being aware of this, Dolphin Discovery  decided to start the program #DiezMilSonrisas in which hundreds of children participated bringing a toy that was destined to another child in situations of vulnerability, in exchange, all children who donated their toy received the surprise of swimming with dolphins in a day that was devoted exclusively to celebrate them.

The meeting was on April 28th  in eight of our dolphinariums, where we received about three thousand 400 children, who had the Experience of a Lifetime to swim with dolphins at Dolphin Discovery. There were games, gifts, hot dogs, hamburgers, Piñatas, laughter, dancing and fun. It was a memorable day; specially for the team of Dolphin Discovery that had the opportunity to make happy so many children in our facilities and out of them.

#DiezMilSonrisas will come back for sure,  because we enjoy creating happy moments and helping those who have less.

Puerto Aventuras School visit Dolphin Discovery

// April 22nd, 2013 // No Comments » // Dolphins for kids, Riviera Maya

At Dolphin Discovery Riviera Maya, we enjoy the company of dozens of children from different schools of the community; every Thursday, they visit us at the facilities of the Dolphinarium in Puerto Aventuras. During these visits, children observe dolphins, learn about their habitat and become aware about the care of their environment.

Before each visit, the trainer-guide will visit the Children´s School and give them a talk about the dolphins, sea lions and manatees. In those talks, children learn about our Animal Breeding Program “Miracle”; and explains them that our team of veterinarians, biologists and coaches are fully dedicated to the animals in their charge and are experts in the field of reproductive science in marine mammals.

After the talk, children come to the Dolphinarium with the company of their teacher and they are guided by the coach in charge who will provide all the information they need and will clarify all their doubts to raise preservation awareness and care towards marine species.

On this occasion, the distinguished visitors were the children of Puerto Aventuras College, who enjoyed seeing dancing the dolphins: Lizzy, Regina and Audry, Popeye, and a Californian sea lion born at Dolphin Discovery facilities in the Riviera Maya.

Newborn in Dolphin Discovery Cozumel

// April 10th, 2013 // No Comments » // Uncategorized

In Dolphin Discovery we are very happy to celebrate the birth of a new baby. Foxie, one of our most iconic females, just had his fourth breeding ever.

This calf was born in the beautiful location of Cozumel, just a few hours ago and it went very well, the happy mom and breeding are very healthy. We do not know the sex of the offspring, but hopefully we will soon.

Cozumel, for its clear water, was the perfect backdrop for the beautiful spectacle that depicts the birth of a baby, in addition, by the above conditions, it will be easier for trainers to take the clock monitoring of both breeding and mother and thus make sure that everything is going well.

Foxie is a medium sized female, age is approximately 25 years and its main feature is that she is very strong and dominant, however, as a mom, Foxie has always been very protective, patient and loving.

Her first brood had called Marina, which is currently also in Cozumel and is now almost 10 years old. Marina was always very curious and playful.

The second breeding Foxie was Padme, she was born in February 2006 at the location of Puerto Aventuras. The most distinguishing feature is that Padme loves playing with all kinds of stuff that is in the background, like rocks, coral, seaweed and shells.

The third is called breeding Portos Foxie, who was born in February 2011, and was the first time I had a male Foxie. Portos always been very independent and fast learning.

We are waiting for you at Cozumel, where you can meet Marina, Padme, Portos and new breeding, the whole family together!

Congratulations to all of the Dolphin Discovery and MIRACLE program people who make this posible!

We’ll se you again soon!

Originally from Monterrey, Ricardo Sanchez and Alejandra Sanchez Vega, along with their children, and six family members were received in Isla Mujeres with necklaces and refreshing cocktails.

To reach this number of guests is for us one of the happiest moments of our history, representing one million of dreams fulfilled, “said Eduardo Albor, CEO of Grupo Dolphin Discovery.
