First batch of DRC photos! Check out my journal entry for my trip report about the Dolphin Research Center --> [link] If anyone can ID the dolphin, it'd be great.
When the trainers needed to explain something to program participants, such as what kind of hand signals to give next and they didn't want the dolphins to see, they'd tell them to "stand on your head." It was too comical. The dolphins would stay like that for the longest time.

It's amazing how thin their body gets as it nears the tail.
It must be quite amusing to see them hang like that for minutes at a time. I wouldn't be surprised if one of them had a random 'muscle spasm' and splashed the crowd.

Anywho, I love this! The story behind it is very cute, the composition is great, and the focus is nice and sharp. Great shot!
