Starbuck

Starbuck is a common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) that is currently living at SeaWorld Orlando. He was born at SeaWorld San Diego to Cindy in 1978. His father is Sambo. Starbuck is 50% Atlantic and 50% Pacific. He's the oldest dolphin living at SeaWorld Orlando.

In 1983, he was briefly moved to SeaWorld Cleveland before returning to San Diego later that year. Two years later, he was moved to Cleveland again, and was brought to San Diego again in the same year. In November of 1987, Starbuck left SeaWorld San Diego and his mother, who never left San Diego after being captured and died in 1996 from a uterine infection, for good. He moved to SeaWorld Orlando, where he remained until 1991, when he was moved to SeaWorld San Antonio. At some point during 1991 or 1992, he was moved to Busch Gardens Tampa. On October 11, 1992, Starbuck was moved yet again to the National Aquarium in Baltimore. He remained there for five years before being transported to SeaWorld Cleveland on October 22, 1997. A few months later on April 26, 1998, Starbuck was moved to SeaWorld San Antonio before being brought to SeaWorld Orlando on April 3, 2000. After five months, he was moved back to Busch Gardens Tampa before moving one last time to SeaWorld Orlando on April 19, 2001.

Starbuck can be identified by a notch in his peduncle by the base of his tail.
