SAN ANTONIO — There is a new resident at SeaWorld San Antonio!
The park announced the birth of a baby bottlenose calf to first-time mother Koko, who is 13. The calf was born on May 26 and is estimated to be around 30 pounds and measures about three feet in length.
SeaWorld says both mom and baby are doing well, with the baby calf nursing and appearing to be bonding closely with mom. The park’s animal and veterinary teams are keeping a close eye on both of them to ensure they remain healthy.


“This is a special moment for our team and our entire SeaWorld family,” said Luke Fitzgibbon, Supervisor of Zoological Care. “The birth of a dolphin calf is always cause for celebration, and it’s especially meaningful when it’s a first-time mom. Our teams are monitoring both animals around the clock to ensure they continue to thrive.”
SeaWorld San Antonio has a variety of exciting opportunities to learn more about dolphins, like their behind-the-scenes Dolphin Tour and the In-water Dolphin Interaction, which offer a closer look at the incredible care that goes into raising and supporting these marine mammals.
