Photo: Dancing Dolphins

Eight dancing dolphins perform for the crowds at the L'Oceanografic in Valencia, Spain in Europe.

There are twenty bottlenose dolphins that live in this habitat at L'Oceanografic in Valencia, Spain in Europe. Dolphins love dancing on the surface of the water using the movement of their tail flukes to keep them up. Whether dolpins do this as a form of exercise or for pure enjoyment is something that only the dolphins know.The Dolphinarium at L'Oceanografic is an outstanding exhibit where the trained staff and dolphins work together as a team to put on a fabulous show for the audience. Various time slots are allotted throughout the day to enjoy a performance by these incredibly smart and energetic dolphins as they carry out amazing leaps, vocalizations, dancing and a variety of tricks.If you miss the show you can view the dolphins at anytime during the day and watch them relate to each other.
