Discovery Cove is a result of SeaWorld’s 35 years of experience with marine animals. And, after witnessing the growing love affair between SeaWorld guests and dolphins, Discovery Cove was created to provide a whole new generation of guests the opportunity to interact more closely with these beloved marine mammals. Bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) Size: Adults average 8-10 ft.(2.5-3 m). Males may be slightly larger than females. Weight: Adults weigh between 300-650 lb. (136-295 kg). Diet: These active predators eat a wide variety of fish, squid, and crustaceans. Fun Facts: Dolphins are extremely social animals and communicate through squeaks, grunts, moans and trilling sounds. Bird Aviary - There are more than 250 birds found in the free-flight aviaries representing species from throughout the world ranging from the blue bellied roller to laughing kookaburras to sun conures.
