SAN ANTONIO — SeaWorld San Antonio welcomed a new dolphin to the park on Monday.
Li’i, a 40-year-old Pacific white-sided dolphin arrived from the Miami Seaquarium, where circumstances required his caregivers to find him a new home.
SeaWorld San Antonio is one of only two places in the United States that cares for his species.
"Our veterinary team is experienced with caring for older animals like Li’i and can provide a custom care regimen that will be in his best interest," said SeaWorld San Antonio. "Li’i will be joining other pacific white sided dolphins, some of whom he lived with previously."
The park says he will receive "world class care based on accredited zoological standards for the remainder of his life."
Welcome to the Alamo City, Li'i!
