WOW... I'm 24 and had never been to Sea World. IT WAS FANTASTIC... almost made me want to quit my job and become an animal trainer.
Anyhow, the place is a great way to learn about some really unique species... If you've never been, I highly reccomend that you go check it out.
THIS PART WAS AMAZING:
We stayed late until close at 11pm. We decided to check out the Orca's in the under ground viewing area. We walked down to find a couple and thier son (about 3 years old)... and that's when I saw it. The child had his head on the glass and there was a baby orca with it's face right there making it's whale sounds. The whale would talk and the child would giggle, taking turns doing this back and forth. I WAS BLOWN AWAY.... completely.
This went on for a good ten minutes, then the mother came over and was trying to get the baby to swim away (as if to say turn off the Human T.V. and go to bed)... the baby refused and continued it's play with the child... the mother got seeminly angry and showed her teeth and kept pushing the baby away. All this for the 5 of us. IT was truely amazing.
BY FAR: the best encounter I've ever had... especially without being underwater.
I just had to share as this place changed me in a way...
Best Regards.....
