Winter’s trainer reads to Winter

Elaina Franklin, one of Winter’s trainers reads to Winter! Check out how Winter liked the book!

From Elaina Franklin: “I read Winter her new book to her today. It turned out to be a really great form of enrichment for her! As she sat up in front of me on the raft, she looked curiously at the pictures as I turned the pages for her to see. She seemed especially intrigued by some of the full-page pictures of herself underwater. Considering the evidence that dolphins have a sense of self-awareness when they look into a mirror, meaning they know it is themselves that they are looking at (and not another dolphin)… I wondered if Winter recognized herself in the picture? Winter got more and more excited the further we got into the book – she even started sticking her tongue out at some of the pictures! Overall, I think that Winter is very proud of her new book and she is very happy to be able to share her story with all of you!”
