A day with the dolphins.
Joe Trounson trains dolphins. A typical day starts at 8 am. Joe checks that the water is clean and the
correct temperature, then prepares the dolphins’ food. Each dolphin eats about 4.5 kg of fish a day. At 10
am Joe starts the training. He usually swims with them for a while before the first show. If they are good,
he gives them fish. During the show the dolphins do lots of tricks. They jump out of the water, swim
backwards on their tails, and take fish out of Joe's mouth. Joe sometimes rides on a dolphin like a horse!
Joe doesn't work alone. His friend Carol helps him with the training and the shows. They work as a team:
Joe, Carol and five dolphins. Joe and Carol finish work at 7 pm, but they usually go home much later. If a
dolphin is ill, they stay at the pool and talk to the vet. It's hard work, but Joe enjoys it. Dolphins are lovely
animals to work with
