Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - A Mother’s Love. Quality Time with Simba.

I met the dolphin I call Simba and his momma Sarabi April 2021. Right from the start Simba was a ham, always being silly and joking around. He would swim circles around my legs and splash with his tail (fluke).

I wasn’t sure he was a boy last year but yesterday he showed me his belly confirming he’s a boy! Male dolphins have slits on their belly that look like an exclamation point and the females look like a division sign.

He and his momma, Sarabi are very close. She is patient, a good teacher and fun too. As I watch them, she gives him space to play and explore but she is never too far. They fish together like pros.

Yesterday they came in at high tide and demonstrated their love with lots of cuddles, kisses and a group hug. The affection was tender and sweet. The whole pod was overflowing with love.

Stay tuned for more tales!
