Third world seen in Orlando: "sea world". This one is probably the
one that requires the least explanation. Pictures should suffice. So
here they are with few comments.
The pirates show with seals was quite funny, especially when it turned out that the kid chosen to interact with the seal could not speak a word of English... The trainer/translator managed to save the show and get back to the storyline. The seal was happy to get an extra serving of fish...
The killer whales made a big impression - or rather a big splash.
The dolphin show was probably the most athletic, with the highlight being the dolphin surf! The dolphins seemed to have even more fun than the humans.
The underwater viewing platform was probably the best place to observe them, swimming and twirling. I was surprised to see many marks and scratches on their skin. A keeper told me that it was due to dolphins biting each other, as a way to communicate.
OK, so not everything at sea world was about show and high speed. This huge octopus found a nice relaxing spot between a starfish and a sea anemone.
The sea horse was graciously moving up and down.
The jellyfish was trying not to get entangled with his neighbors.
Let's keep the best for last. Here a huge manatee, quietly floating. Such a peaceful animal... yet another endangered specie. This is the largest animal that I still had not seen - I wonder which one took that spot now...
