My Story: Cane has not yet arrived at Dolphin Research Center, and we’re eagerly awaiting the moment we can welcome him home. Thank you for your patience—your support means the world to Cane, who will soon call DRC his forever home.

Cane is a harbor seal with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Born at Miami Seaquarium after his parents moved there, Cane is the brother of Ace and his closest companion in the pinniped pool. Fiercely independent despite being blind, Cane never lets anything slow him down, confidently leading the way in play and exploration. Playful, mischievous, and bossy in the funniest ways, he keeps his brother and trainers wrapped around his flippers while ensuring every moment is on his terms. Cane’s cleverness, confidence, and affectionate heart make him a truly unforgettable seal whose personality shines as brightly as his bond with Ace.

Our Mission - Through education, research and rescue, Dolphin Research Center promotes peaceful coexistence, cooperation and communication between marine mammals, humans and the environment we share with the well being of DRC's animals taking precedence.
