Perhaps they didn’t want all three mother and calf duos to share the same the same space at the same time.
Perhaps. May have more information after Thursday’s visit.
Someone asked one of the educators (not always a good source) today while we were there how many dolphins were in the exhibit, and she said 8 or 9 with this calf. Not too concrete!

The sire for Ohana's calf is definitely Bolt.
 
Piquet’s calf has died at SeaWorld Texas. Very sad news for a small population, especially a female calf.
