Marine Life Dolphins Thriving In The Bahamas

Life is fun in the sun for Kelly the dolphin. She's been to hell and back, swept away with seven other dolphins to the Gulf of Mexico when Hurricane Katrina ravaged their giant tank at the Oceanarium in Gulfport.

Weakened and sick after more than a week in the contaminated waters, workers were amazed to find Kelly and her companions swimming together. They swam to the boats, were brought aboard mats and given food and medicine.

Once back on shore, they were then put in hotel swimming pools and at the seabee base in a tank until a new home could be found. From the wreckage of their former home and the temporary tiny hotel swimming pools to Dolphin Cay - one of the largest manmade dolphin facilities in the world at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas.

Terry Corbet has worked with dolphins and killer whales for more than 20 years. She took us in the water to meet Kelly.
