Sea World San Diego - Animal Spotlight Tour

We left the boys to go on our Behind the Scenes Animal Spotlight Tour.
Our guide was Megan, and she took us first to meet some dolphins.


Poor Kingston was asleep before we even got there, so he missed the whole tour



One of a dolphins was a new mother and the others were pregnant



This dolphin was pretty close to giving birth, apparently they are pregnant for a whole year! I guess we don't have it so bad after all.


We got to see a couple of cool jumps



Poor Kenzie was right in front, and she got SOAKED





The calf is on the left, he was just a few months old and pretty small, he stuck close by his mum



Next we went around to the other pool to learn some more about the dolphins





We got to touch one







And feed her some fish





Next we got to see some Eels



They were under a fibreglass cover, it had little holes in it and we fed them some fish too











Finally, we went to see the Turtles, they were HUGE, we were given some lettuce to feed them












We learnt how the turtles are hunted for their shells, so NEVER buy any kind of turtle shell




Everytime Megan asked if anyone had a question, Kenzie would put her hand up, funnily enough she never had a question to ask though



Once our tour was over we headed back to the front of the park to meet Craig and Hunter, they'd found the free beers at the Hospitality Centre, well Craig had.  So we got the kids an iceblock and headed back over there to sit in the shade and have a drink
