The Living Seas, Epcot Center, Walt Disney World, Lake Buena Vista, FL

An ethogram, including time comparisons and initiation of social interactions, is being constructed for dolphins housed at The Living Seas. The 5.7 million gallon system is designed to simulate a Caribbean reef environment. It is stocked with more than 5000 fish and 4 species of sharks. Observed behavioral interactions of the 3 bottlenosed dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in the system will be compared with reports from field studies.
