Spirit
I’m a gentle dolphin and I’m devoted to my calf, Sparkle, who was born in July 2007. I love to be in the company of the other mums and their calves. I was given my name because it appears that my gentle and spirited nature inspires the youngsters who seem to enjoy being around me.
I’ve got two very sharp nicks in my dorsal fin which means I am easy to recognise when I swim by with all my friends.
