Tales from the Lagoon ~ Episode - Quality Time with Uncle Larry and Jagger

The day started with 2 dolphins, Uncle Larry and Jagger. Uncle Larry is the dolphin with the number 968 on his dorsal fin. If you are just tuning in, I was able to find out from a friend that Larry is a male dolphin and was part of a health assessment in 2004. The researcher thought Larry was approximately 25 at that time which makes him 43 now!

This is the first time I have seen Uncle Larry without a maternity pod, a pod of moms and their calves. Jagger got his name from his jagged dorsal fin.

Today, he and Jagger were enjoying their day off from watching the kids. They were having a great time together, lots of love, play and fishing. They spent more time just hanging out together than chasing fish. Their friendship and connection was palpable. They spent more time being together than chasing fish.

After a couple hours they left and a few more pod of dolphin came in to grab snacks.

Pip and Patches the Pelican duo visited too. Pip was showing off his diving skills! And of course, Luna and Skylar, the ospreys were actively grabbing fish. More from these 4 characters tomorrow.

Stay tuned for more tales!

PS~. Patches the pelican is in the previous post- she is friends with Pip and very cute.
