Noelani is very vocal and loves “chatting” with her Animal Welfare Specialists – she is the youngest of the family and just the cutest thing, although the visiting tarpons that make their way into the habitat may not think so, as she chases them about.

Sonny loves his toys!! From the hula hoops and buoys to pool noodles, but his favorites are his various sports-balls . He also enjoys a little fishy snack that may swim by every once in while.  The “buffet” is always open.

Finally the majestic Ping – she is the biggest and likely the most beautiful coastal Atlantic bottlenose dolphin you have ever seen. She is very playful, with her favorite toy being a large floating ring. She is also the matriarch and keeps the rest of her pod in line, including her care takers :-).

Our rehabilitation team is comprised of on-staff exotic animal veterinarian, veterinary technician, biologists, and marine animal experts.  We also have built professional connections with several facilities throughout the US which broadens our access to experts in different species.  This allows us to care for a large variety of wildlife and ensure that each case receives the best possible care, and the highest level of success to be re-introduced to the wild.

Our veterinary technician also functions as our animal emergency response and responds to reports of injured, sick or stranded wildlife all over the island.  We have also assisted animals on other islands as well, including the British Virgin Islands.

Coral World is deeply committed to the conservation of our marine and terrestrial animals in any way possible.  Both short and long-term rehabilitation is expensive, time-consuming, and often exhausting.  Our rehabilitation team as well as our park spare nothing to ensure the health and success of our rehabilitation animals.
