Ever wonder how SeaWorld animal trainers teach an animal to do the amazing behaviors that you see in shows? Your search for knowledge is over! This is the first in a series of vlogs hosted by the Animal Training team at the Beluga Stadium designed to give you an inside glimpse as to how we train animals. The first behavior to be demonstrated… teaching a two year old beluga whale named Atla how to do a jump, which we call a bow. Check back every few weeks to see her progress.

SeaWorld’s Christmas Celebration is underway and at the Cannery Row Clyde & Seamore are starring in the Countdown to Christmas. We are excited to see the return of this fun production and we have even added some fun new aspec

Azul has been a very popular show since it debuted last season at SeaWorld San Antonio. The combination of animal and human performers makes for a thrilling and interesting show. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to perform in the show? It's really difficult to put into words what we feel durin

Most people think of dolphins and whales when SeaWorld comes to mind. Who doesn’t love touching the smooth skin of a bottlenose dolphin or seeing a killer whale drench the first 15 rows of Shamu Stadium? Don’t get me wrong … I love dolphins and whales, but I have tons of fun everyday hanging out with Clyde & Seamore so I think everyone should love them just as much as I do!
