A bottlenose dolphin leaps to take a fish from its trainer during a show at the Miami Seaquarium, Virginia Key, Biscayne Bay, Miami, Florida, USA 1967. The Seaquarium is a large oceanarium theme park. As well as marine mammals, the Seaquarium is home to fish, sharks, sea turtles, birds, reptiles, and manatees. The park was founded by Fred D Coppock and Captain W B Gray and was the second marine-life attraction in Florida. When it opened in 1955, was the largest marine-life attraction in the world. The dolphins were given names that related to their behaviour and the most famous was Flipper. The 1960s TV show 'Flipper' and two Flipper movies were filmed at the Seaquarium. Dolphin shows and ocean attractions became a cultural phenomenon, springing up all over Florida. Today issues over animals kept in captivity for entertainment mean that marine parks have slipped in popularity and many have closed. This image is from an old American amateur Kodak colour transparency. It will look slightly soft if used at too large a size – a vintage 1960s photograph.
