I know, it's the endless discussion of marine mammals in captivity. I understand the arguments for keeping them in captivity and those against, I've just been wondering about the country to country divide on attitudes. I'm in Spain this week and have been looking at visiting Barcelona zoo but...

Heyo I was wondering why there are no naturalistic dolphin exhibits. Seals and Penguins have some naturalistic exhibits but dolphins don't? There also seems to be a lack of enrichment in most dolphin exhibits. Any reasons why dolphins seem to be getting overlooked?

I've been looking up pictures on this site of Dolphin and Whale exhibits and, while some have good quality, a lot look small to house these animals. Are there any large, natural Cetacean exhibits? P.S. I'm not on the side of ill-informed organizations Like IDA, or PETA. I think we can house...

I'm curious. Where and how do zoos and aquariums get Dolphins, Porpoises, and other cetaceans? Rescues? Captures? Something else? And on a different note, how do they get other marine mammals as well?

River dolphins have not fared well in captivity! It seems over 100 amazon river dolphins were imported to the western world in the 1970's, and what do we have to show for it? 1.0 at zoo duisburg, this male is aging and his companion died back in 2006. The last river dolphin in the...

Like most people on this site I have always dreamed of owning my own zoo/aquarium, but the chances are that unless I win millions this is just not going to happen because there isn't a niche in the market for yet another zoo or aquarium. However the UK is seriously lacking any marine mammal...

The Mediterraneo park at Bahar Ic-Caghaq has announced the birth of the second dolphin to be delivered at its tanks in as many months. It has also announced a competition where it is inviting children to give names to the two newborns. The second calf , a male, was born on August 8 to...

This article was taken from the newspaper. A 12-year-old bottlenose dolphin called Onda has given birth to a calf at Laguna Mediterraneo, a first for the park in Bahar ic-Caghaq. The calf is one metre long and weighs13kg. Its mother was brought to Malta from Cuban waters in 2003...

Hi Everyone, I'm currently updating my website on british dolphinaria and I was wondering whether anyone on here knew anything about either of the dolphinariums that existed at Sandown (the Isle of Wight) or Weymouth. There is practically no evidence of their existence on the internet...

What happened to the Beluga Whales and Dolphins. Is it true that they once kept an Orca?

Hello, I think this theme deserves its own thread here. It is pretty difficult to obtain some new info, because ZOO Nürnberg releases almost no materials about planned and now also built new home for dolphins and manaties. So I think it would be wonderful if we shared some news here - I...
