My Story: When he was around 6-8 months old, Jax was spotted swimming alone in the St. John’s River near Jacksonville, FL. Orphaned and injured, he was rescued and transported to Gulf World Marine Park in Panama City. When he joined the DRC family he was “adopted” by Tursi & Gypsi, and he soon made friends with everyone! Jax is popular with all of the dolphins and is a sweetheart who loves to meet new people as well.
