This show featured dolphin waterworks to start, a pilot whale segment with new behaviors for Ava and Piper, and nine dolphins for the finale! The next time I visit, I would love to see some multi-species behaviors which they have been asking for, but I visited a little too early for that. You'll notice that the pilot whales and dolphins are coming out from the same back pool though!
