A spirited young dolphin named Yuki has become an internet sensation at Kagoshima City Aquarium. Videos captured on August 13 and January 2024 show Yuki engaging in playful behavior, sliding along the poolside and spinning with other dolphins. The woman who filmed the August 13 video had previously seen a similar dolphin in Kagoshima City and recognized Yuki when she saw the new footage.
Yuki, a female bottlenose dolphin, is the smallest at the aquarium and the first born there in five years. Despite not yet mastering a stage-performing maneuver, Yuki continues to captivate viewers with her independent actions. Aquarium staff encourage visitors to return during quieter times to witness her unique sliding abilities.
