Just days earlier, on June 15, a female California sea lion pup was born to first-time mother Phoenix. The pup is currently growing behind the scenes under the care of SeaWorld’s animal specialists and is expected to make her public debut in the coming months.
SeaWorld says both births highlight the success of its long-term animal care and conservation programs. Names for the dolphin calf and sea lion pup will be announced in the coming weeks.
