Dolphin killed during stunt at SeaWorld park by stvalentine

A dolphin died at a SeaWorld sister park after colliding with another dolphin during a guest interaction program.

About 32 visitors were in the lagoon Saturday afternoon when the dolphins swam into the deeper center and leapt from the water, Discovery Cove spokeswoman Becca Bides said. They collided and Sharky, a 30-year-old, died. The other dolphin appeared to be uninjured but is being monitored. "This is a very unfortunate and very rare incident," Bides said.

Discovery Cove offers visitors the opportunity to swim with dolphins, rays and tropical fish. It was the first accidental death of a dolphin since the park opened eight years ago.
