Miami Seaquarium Postcards

Please enjoy!!
Postcard: Cigarette Jump at the Top Deck
For the cigarette jump, dolphins were first trained with VERY long items including nasty old pelican (bird) feathers, just anything long that happened to be laying around. Some dolphins (Butterball immediately comes to mind) needed the extra long cigarettes during shows to allow just a smidgeon more room for error. And yes, she did indeed miss 'pon occasion. My own nose remains just a little bit crooked in spite of her valiant efforts to miss.. Grin..
