Also let me learn you guys some things about marine mammals here.
There are four Long Beaked Common Dolphin x Bottlenose Dolphin hybrids. A 50/50 female named Bullet lives at Seaworld San Diego. She is a partial second generation captive bred animal. Her father was a rescued common and her mother is a captive bred atlantic bottlenose. There is a male named CJ living at the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies in Mississippi. He is also a 50/50, his father being the same rescued common and his mother a wild caught atlantic bottlenose. CJ has produced two calves, a female named Aries and a male named Titan, both live at Discovery Cove in Orlando. Aries is 25% common, 50% atlantic bottlenose and 25% pacific bottlenose. Titan is 25% common and 75% atlantic bottlenose.
As for seals, there are a handful of ringed seals between the Alaska Sealife Center, Seaworld San Diego, and some research facilities. At San Diego their ringed seals are housed off display in the wild arctic complex. San Diego also has a harp seal. Both the harp and the ringed are occassionally placed on display, but it is rare.
The Harp Seal named Wiley currently lives at Seaworld Orlando, and has been there for quite some time. He is a reasonable age (if I can recall correctly he was rescued in the early 2000's) and has only been on display 3-4 times in the past 10 years. The Belugas are scared of him and he is somewhat shy with the public, hence him staying off display. I managed to call in a favor or two and had him placed on display for me during a recently trip to Orlando, and he is a rather small and plump fellow.
