This picture was taken while I was volunteering at Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, Florida.
A large pod of dolphins beached at a nearby beach of which only 7 were able to be rescued. (They were each named after the 7 dwarves) By the time I was working there, three remained, Sleepy, Sneezy & Bashful.
As they were wild and released back into the Gulf if they survived the ordeal, we interacted as little as possible with them. One day I did have to assist with some blood tests and got up close and fairly personal with one of them; a once in a life time event I will never forget.
As far as I know, all three did survive and were released and were tracked for a couple of weeks.
