My Story: Clyde 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 Clyde, who will soon call DRC his forever home.

Clyde is the calm, confident gentleman of the sea lion lagoon, a big-hearted, intelligent, and loving presence. Despite being blind, he moves through his world with strength, grace, and a gentle charm that draws everyone in. He loves playful games with his trainers and enjoys showing off his cleverness and calm confidence. Born with a heart as big as his frame, Clyde is a sea lion who inspires love and admiration wherever he goes.
