Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat welcomes the arrival of a happy and healthy 25-pound baby boy dolphin named Sgt. Pepper! The little wonder was born at the Dolphin Habitat on Friday, June 8, 2007. Both mother, Duchess—a 30-year-old Atlantic bottlenose beauty, and baby are doing fine. The father, 22-year-old Lightning, is swimming around proudly. Experience the little bundle of joy for yourself!
New baby dolphin adjusts to life just swimmingly!
"Long ago, Roy and I realized that everything that happens to this planet is man's responsibility. Our responsibility," says Siegfried. "After living and working with some of the world's most magnificent creatures, we have felt the threat of their loss. So we felt compelled to create a safe environment – an environment in which these animals could live in serenity," says Roy.
The Dolphin Habitat
The 2.5 million gallon Dolphin Habitat is home to a family of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. Its purpose is to provide a healthy and nurturing environment for dolphins, as well as to educate the public about marine mammals and their environment – including their role in the ecosystem.
Four connected pools, an artificial coral reef system and sandy bottom replicate the dolphins' natural environment. Most of the dolphins were born here; the remaining few were relocated from other facilities.
The Dolphin Habitat is both an educational and research facility. We host educational programs for students from kindergarten through university age. Guests see the dolphins in a naturalistic environment, exhibiting natural behaviors. Research is conducted under the guidance of the dolphin care specialists. Education staff is available to answer questions and provide information about our dolphin family.
