This might sound like a daft question but it is a serious one- does anyone know if the dolphins smell ? ( fishy? ha ha)
I have been told by a friend that they stink although when I was at Seaworld I never noticed any smell at all.
I want to do the dolphin swim at Discovery Cove but if they sink as much as my friend suggests they do then I may reconsider.

No they don't smell - i do remember at the mums and babies pool at Seaworld there use to be a wee smell of fish ( i think that was because it was a small pool )

Our dolphin (Capricorn) didn't have many teeth - there was a slight fishy smell, but no worse than my dogs fish dog food.......

I noticed a very fishy smell at the dolphins in Sea World - might have been all the fish that people were feeding them though!

Cheers,

We have spent a lot of time at the Dolphin Research Centre and I can honestly say that I have never noticed a fishy smell at all. I don't think dolphins smell fishy as they are not fish.....but mammals. (and although some mammals certainly do smell...I have never noticed any offensive aroma lurking around dolphins!)

Are you sure it wasn't the people who forgot extra deoderant in the Florida heat who smelled ??

We have done DC and no, they don't smell!!!

And even if they did you will be too overwhelmed and excited to notice it!!!!!

If they don't smell, how do they tell when their milk in the fridge is off?


That, for those who didn't spot it, is in fact a broad re-working of the old joke:

My dog's got no nose.

How does he smell?

Awful.

Great to know that the music hall tradition lives on, isn't it?

:confused2 :D :confused2

Of course they smell , look at the size of there nose.

seriously when we were feeding them at seaworld they had fishy breath but then again i did just toss a fish into its mouth.
