I love how the dolphin made the connection, and turned over to see the sloth “right side up”.

I believe it was mainly an excuse to see happy fun puppies. The puppies seemed ‘meh’ about the fish tanks, sharks notwithstanding.

It seems that sharks don’t require a whole lot of food. The secret behind keeping them from eating all the other fish in a big aquarium tank is to give them enough stuff to eat at shark-feeding time so they don’t become peckish and start looking for a snack between meals.

The sloth is probably safe, particularly as it is unlikely to have watched Jaws and so isn’t pre-traumatised as far as sharks are concerned.

Human, “Look, puppies; look at the fish!”

Puppies, “PUPPIES! PUPPIES!”

At least they have each other.

Dolphins: “Food? Rub-rub? Play? Possibly fill our two empty seats on our panel discussion addressing the hydrodynamic effects of sea water viscosity on high-aspect ratio ovoid structures?”

What’s not talked about is the disastrous initial take on this idea. There were many suffocating dolphins and well fed lions at the the safari park that day.
