Dolphins Plus is deeply saddened to announce the unexpected loss of Elvis, one of our male Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. Named after Elvis Presley, Elvis’ crooked smile and raised lip warmed the hearts of all who met him. Elvis’ zest for life was evident in his ability to learn new behaviors at the speed of light. He was known as a charmer, an incredibly sweet soul, and a big teddy bear. Elvis frequently vocalized with his signature silly sounds during and after behaviors, demonstrating his ecstatic enthusiasm. Elvis had personality oozing out of him and he was often described by his trainers as "larger than life". Elvis will be missed by many, especially his Dolphins Plus family. Sending love out to everyone who knew him. If Elvis touched your heart, please feel free to share a photo or a memory on our wall.
