I've seen humpback whales and bottlenose dolphins in the wild. When I did outrigger canoe paddling dolphins would sometimes race alongside our boats on our early morning Saturday practices! They would leap and play around in the water just 1 or 2 feet from the sides of the boat! Talk about an energy booster! Such beautiful, amazing creatures!!!

I went to Sea Life Park when I was younger. However as my views on using captive animals for entertainment have evolved, I have decided to quit going and supporting Sea Life Park. They have one (maybe two?) half dolphin, half whale creature called a "wholphin." (http://allsands.com/Science/Animals/...hin_bbg_gn.htm)
