My Story: Tanner is following in the flukeprints of his famous Uncle Natua, DRC’s first research star! His studies have been published in prestigious journals, and he’s famous for being the star of the studies in Blindfolded Imitation. Even with his eyes covered, he can still copy the actions of his dolphin and human friends! Tanner is also a flirt with his trainers, and loves a good cuddle!  Whether hanging with his “bros” or people watching, he enjoys life. He is half brother to Luna (A.J.'s daughter) and Reese (Santini's other son).
