My Story: Samantha has not yet arrived at Dolphin Research Center, and we’re eagerly awaiting the moment we can welcome her home. Thank you for your patience—your support means the world to Samantha, who will soon call DRC her forever home.
Samantha is a kind-hearted and gentle dolphin whose calm presence guides those around her. She has a go-with-the-flow personality that balances perfectly with her lively, joyful vocalizations that echo across the lagoons. Blind in one eye, Samantha navigates the world with grace, patience, and warmth, teaching by example what it means to lead with kindness. Samantha is a dolphin who inspires and comforts those around her, nurturing and helping babies and young dolphins. Affectionately called “Sammy Jammy” or “JamJar,” her sweet nature, calm leadership, and generous heart make her beloved by everyone who knows her. Samantha is a dolphin whose charm, calm, and generosity of spirit are impossible not to adore.
