Dolphin Research Center 1/24/2014

We visited the Dolphin Research Center on Grassy Key today which is a non-profit organization that promotes educational programs about marine mammals.  We saw the dolphins at their best, performing tricks and "talking" to the visitors.  There were two young pups swimming with their moms.  The pups usually nurse for two years before going out on their own.  One fact that I learned today is that the dolphins get almost all of their fresh water from eating fish!  Drinking salt water makes them very sick.
