December 24About the Event
Nicholas, an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin, was rescued on Christmas Eve, December 24, 2002, after stranding with his mother and suffering severe sunburns. His mother did not survive, and Nicholas could not learn the skills required to survive in the wild, so Nicholas became a permanent resident at Clearwater Marine Aquarium. 15 years later, he has grown into a healthy and talented dolphin, capturing the hearts of everyone he meets.
