Meet The Dolphins |
|
Hoku - (Name means 'Star' in Hawaiian) Hoku was born at The Kahala in 1991. A very good-natured animal, Hoku loves tactile attention and learning new behaviors. Kolohe - ('Rascal') He is from Dolphin Quest Hawaii, where his mother, Shaka, currently lives. Kolohe is usually one of the first to try new things and is not shy. Liho - ('Rare and Precious') He is a terrific animal and loves any and all guest interactions. Lono - (An ancient Hawaiian god of fertility and farming) He is the largest and oldest of our Dolphin Quest Oahu animal family. At 500 pounds, he ranks among the larger of the Atlantic Bottlenose dolphin species. He has sired several calves at Dolphin Quest Hawaii where he resided for most of his life. Nai Noa - ('The Wanderer') You will be able to differentiate him from the others because of his chocolate-colored topside. Nainoa was born at Dolphin Quest Hawaii on October 31st, 1997. Liko - ('Budding Leaf') Liko was born in the fall of 2000 at Dolphin Quest Hawaii. He is long and thin, and has a birthmark over his right eye, just like his half-brother, Nai Noa (who is also currently at The Kahala). Liko is a very fast learner, and quite playful and can often be seen chasing guppies throughout the day. Liko's mother is Kona and father is Lono (currently at The Kahala). |
