The Mirage welcomes its newest additions to Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat - white, white-striped and golden tiger cubs! The public will be able to see these rare and adorable cubs in a special nursery created for them in the Secret Garden beginning Friday, June 13, 2008, which happens to be Siegfried's 69th birthday.
Siegfried & Roy's Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat is proud to celebrate the 1st birthday of Sgt. Pepper! The birthday boy was born at the Dolphin Habitat on Friday, June 8, 2007. Come celebrate and join us in wishing him a happy birthday. He can be seen daily playing and splashing with our trainers as he grows.
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.

Dolphin and tiger trainers are available to mingle with and teach guests about some of the worlds most magnificent and graceful creatures creating a fun and interactive experience.
