Melanie

Melanie is a 26-year-old bottlenose dolphin living at SeaWorld San Diego. She was born there on August 26, 1989 to Scarback and Jethro at Dolphin Stadium. She performed in shows with her parents until their deaths. On August 1, 1996, Crunch sired her first calf, Griffith. Melanie met Phil at SeaWorld San Diego, and she became pregnant for the second time in 1999. On March 31, 2000, just a few days before Discovery Cove opened and Griffith was sent to it (April 2), Melanie gave birth to Madison. On April 4, 2004, Madison was sent to Discovery Cove. Melanie has performed at Dolphin Stadium as the dominant female ever since. She is the largest of the dolphins, since her father was a Pacific bottlenose dolphin. She has been confirmed pregnant again and is due in October 2018.
