My Story: Cayo, which means “key” in Spanish, is the third daughter of Merina and the first Dolphin Research Center calf conceived by artificial insemination. Like her mother and siblings, Pandora, Calusa, Flagler and Windley she is an intelligent, independent spirit. Cayo loves to control anything and everything … the game is to get her to think it’s “her idea”! A beautiful graceful dolphin, Cayo always keeps us on our toes!
