Many subscribers have been interested in Li'i the Pacific whitesided dolphin, so here's a video of him working on his back breach during Ocean Discovery!

Li'i is the oldest Pacific whitesided dolphin at this park (~40 years old) and moved here in September 2023 from Miami Seaquarium, where he used to live with other dolphins and Lolita the killer whale.
This is an aerial behavior he knew in Miami but his trainers want him to jump in different spots in this larger habitat. He demonstrates where he used to do them in Miami in the 1st approximation, gets closer to the intended spot in the 2nd, then reverts back to where he was at first. His back breach looks quite different from how other dolphins at this park do it and will be a fine addition to Ocean Discovery when complete!
