Mating season

Apparently it's mating season around here. We observed for the time it took for me to get a decent picture, and then she wanted to touch them. They didn't take to that idea very well and separated and ran their separate ways.

Miami Seaquarium mammals and mating turtles!

We attend a homeschool class at Miami Seaquarium, bu I generally don't stay in the homeschool class with the little girl, and often end up going the the Top deck show to observe the dolphins. After the show, the trainers tossed some balls into the pool for the dolphins to play with. They were able to toss them pretty well.

Later I ended up at the tropical birds section, which include some tortoises. Some were a bit busy.

After the class Cowgirl has time to see the killer whale show, and it's always a game to see whether we sit in the splash zone or not. The water from this tank is cold!
