Samantha

The picture I have as my profile picture here is a picture of Samantha, the only female dolphin at Dolphin Cove. She's 27 (dolphins live from about 35-50 years old) years old and has a crooked jaw, as you can tell. One morning the trainers came in and she had dislocated it somehow; instead of resetting it and risking further injury they let her jaw heal that way. She can still open her mouth all the way and has no trouble communicating with other dolphins or eating, despite the injury. And now she's got some character. :)
