Tarpon Zoo (at Tarpon Springs) was one of the major importers of exotic animals into the USA in the mid to late 1900s. It wasn't just a zoo which kept animals, they had tens of thousands of animals passing through from the wild to buyers.

Didn't they import Amazon river dolphins too, or was that someone else in the same area?

Yes Tarpon Zoo did import Amazon river dolphins; see the interesting article
" Inia geoffrensis in Captivity in the United States" (Caldwell, Caldwell & Brill) which is available on-line.
