Dolphin & Sea Lion Encounter at Ocean World in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic Description

Approximately thirty species of dolphins can be found in our oceans, including the white-sided, spotted and bottlenose varieties. It is the Atlantic bottlenose dolphin, or Tursiops truncatus, that is best known to people. These animals tend to live in the shallow waters where people frequently choose to swim and boat. This species of dolphin does very well under human care and are popular marine park performers.

The average lifespan for this species in the wild is approximately 30 years, but research confirms that, these animals currently live equally long and often healthier lives. The oldest dolphin for example lived to be 48 years of age.

There are eight Southern Sea Lions (Otaria byronia) which participate in either the Sea Lion Show or Encounter. Also known as the Patagonian sea lion, they can be found on both the Atlantic and Pacific shores of South America. The sea lions at Ocean World come from Uruguay, where harvesting of sea lion pups for fur is still allowed. They have a life span of about 20 years and males can reach a size of up to 700 lbs. while females do not get larger than 300 lbs.
