Newest dolphin needs a name
Sea Life Park is holding a contest to name its new baby Atlantic bottlenose dolphin born Feb. 27 to parents Laka and Kaleo. The male calf – Laka’s fifth baby – weighed in at 45 pounds and measured 40 inches in length. Park curator Jeff Pawloski reports the little one has been at his mom’s side nursing on a regular schedule and receiving around-the-clock care and supervision. Starting June 26, Seal Life Park will offer special guided visits for guests to see the new baby dolphin. To enter the name-the-dolphin contest, go to www.sea lifeparkhawaii.com/baby by Aug. 31. Winners will get a stay at the Sheraton Waikiki, a one-of-a-kind in-water encounter with mother and baby, and other prizes.
