Adopt a dolphin - Tide

Tide

TIDE is our handsome and energetic male dolphin who has been seen in Cardigan Bay since 2001. He has quite a sharp fin with a nick near the base and another in the middle of his fin. These nicks are likely to be the result of encounters with other males, usually over a female.

Adopt a dolphin - Flint

Flint

FLINT is known for his fantastic leaps and acrobatics. As the picture shows, he looks great when he’s performing. He used to have only two small nicks and some tooth scratches on his fin, but during 2005, he developed a third nick towards the base of the fin.

Adopt a dolphin - Chris

Chris

CHRIS is our mysterious cutey dolphin mum who is known as far back as 1990 in Cardigan Bay. In 2006, however, we never saw her. Where did she go? Was she in the bay, but out of sight during our surveys or did she travel elsewhere? She is very popular with our observers and can be recognised by a couple of small nicks on her fin along with a thin white marking on the edge of the fin.
