My Story: On November 3rd 2022, just as the sun was setting, a new little soul swam into the Dolphin Research Center family. Morada, named after the island of Islamorada, was Cayo’s very first calf. She was strong and healthy, and Cayo, a brand-new mom, took excellent care of her.

Almost from birth, we saw that this little lady has an independent spirit, a strong will, and a hint of sass much like her mother. Morada doesn’t do anything she doesn’t want to do. Everything is on her terms. She is curious, bright, and she lets you know what she wants!

Morada also likes to spend time playing with Bowie and these two have become good friends as they grow and explore their world together. We expect incredible things from this young lady and can’t wait to see what her future holds!
