Animal Spotlight: Magnolia (a.k.a. Maggie), the Cute Sea Lion

BLUE LAGOON ISLAND, BAHAMAS

Maggie was born in Gulfport Mississippi at Marine Life Oceanarium and came to Dolphin Encounters in 2006 after her home was destroyed in Hurricane Katrina. She is the first sea lion pup in the Bahamas and is now mother to 3 sea lions: Milo, Bonny, and Charlotte. Maggie loves attention and is a very overexcited sea lion. Dwaynell Fox, one of her trainers, describes her as the most random sea lion of the lot. She is often seen jumping up on the docks performing behaviors without her trainers, just for her own entertainment.

Dwaynell decided to teach Maggie a new behavior that no other sea lion knows at Dolphin Encounters: The Come and Get It. Maggie is asked to stay at a distance from the trainer and when Dwaynell yells, “Come and Get It,” she dives from the spot, swimming swiftly, jumps in the air and catches a fish 8 feet in the air. Let’s salute Maggie for a job well done!
