Well folks, its been one exciting year, where did it go? We have had numerous stories and developments on Dolphin World, and the dolphin international community. From stories about Winter the dolphin, an epic blockbuster scheduled for next year,  to the dolphins that can soothe and potentially heal the sick.  We have indeed learned much about our friend the dolphins, and we continue to expect to learn more each and every year to come.

Most of all, we would like to thank our viewers and loyal fans for sticking with us every step of the way. We would also like to thank all of those that went swimming with the dolphins this year, and we do hope you have truly enjoyed your time with us and the dolphins.  We hope you will continue joining us for our next exciting installments next year, as we continue to discover and unveil the mystery and magic of these amazing creatures.

But before we go, we thought we would wish you all a very warm merry Christmas and a prosperous new year, may God bless you all and thank you  for a dazzling good year.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

This story really touched my heart because I have read many stories about Winter the Tailless dolphin. This special dolphin lives at the Sarasota Mote Research Center and has done many great things, like helping a US Soldier that needed some cheering up, but this story tops them all.

Winter the dolphin did a video conference with a dieing boy with Leukemia. This boy, Ross, dream was to swim with the dolphins. Unfortunately, Ross dream to actually swim did not happen but he did have a Video Conference with Winter the dolphins.

You have to read this story. It will really touch your heart and you many even cry, like I did.

The story starts with…..

Ross Perri’s dream was to swim with dolphins. But the 12-year-old resident of Jericho, Vt., was desperately ill with leukemia, so family members and folks at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium gave him the next best thing. < Read More>

What did you think of this story? Pretty amazing isn’t it.

Hi All,

We wrote a story about the Sounds that Dolphins make, the squeals, the whistles, the clicking, and popping sounds. All very unnique to marine mammals.

When you go swimming with the dolphins, you can not help but hear these amazing sounds while underneath the water.  I really love the clicking sound. You know the dolphin is sending out their signal and reading you and your body.  Its seems like they are doing a total Xray of you.

My favorite experience with the dolphin sounds is when I swam with them in Bimini Bahamas.  The day I did it was not the clearest and it was  hard to see the spotted dolphins. But you could hear the clicking and popping everywhere. The next thing you know, the dolphins are all around you and checking you out. It is so cool. I love it.  Without the sounds, the dolphins would be a totally stealth and you would never know they are there. Read the Story>>>

Do you have any dolphin sound stories? Also,  I am looking for some youtube videos with the dolphins sounds. Can you send me some links to view?
God Bless,
John
