Dottie

Dottie was born to Darla and Ralph at SeaWorld Orlando's Dolphin Cove on April 26, 1987. Dottie was sent to SeaWorld Aurora in 1995 alongside Clyde, Latoya, Thelma, and Steime to replace Astra and Tasha. Dottie and Steime became pregnant in 1996. On May 20, 1997, Dottie gave birth to her first calf, Dash, sired by her half-brother Clyde. Dottie and Steime moved to SeaWorld San Diego without their calves on April 26, 1999, while Steime was pregnant. Dottie became pregnant very quickly after arrival. She gave birth to Polka in 2000, sired by Bodine. In 2003, Dottie and Stein had a calf named Nitro. In 2008, Dottie gave birth to her last calf, Cortez, in 2008. Cortez was sired naturally by Crunch, unlike many other calves in 2008 and 2009. In 2014, Cortez and Polka were sent to other parks. Nitro left in 2007 to become a member of the US Navy. In 2010, Dottie was found to have a kidney stone, the same thing that killed Spanky at SeaWorld Orlando. Dottie had an experimental procedure on her in order to save her, which was successful. When Dottie first arrived in San Diego, she lived at Dolphin point. In 2002, she participated in the Dolphin Interaction Program (DIP) at Dolphin Stadium. It returned to Dolphin Point in 2008, and so did the participatnts. Dottie moved to Animal Care for her kidney stone treatment in 2010, but then returned to Dolphin Point afterwards. Dottie still lives at Dolphin Point, but she occasionally moves to Animal Care to meet Razzle, Ripley, Bugs, Tobie, Sarasota, and Primo.
