A photo of Nicholas playing with his new device!

This past year, CMA’s training staff has been working closely with entrepreneurs Don and Cindy Lang, who create environmental enrichment devices for marine mammals. We received our first device from the Langs, a bubble machine for Winter, Panama, and Hope, at the beginning of this year. We are pleased to announce that our second device is finally here!

This device is for Nicholas, CMA’s only male dolphin. It works like the game “Simon Says”; the device is capable of playing different music note sequences, and each music note corresponds to a different light. The trainer plays a sequence and Nicholas has to repeat the sequence by using paddles in his water. Each paddle represents a different note, and when he gets the sequence correct, he is rewarded. The device is designed to tap into Nicholas’s cognitive and creative abilities. Come up to Dolphin Terrace at CMA to see it in action!

    Hi Winter! I think you’re awesome!! I love your determination, and I think you are very content. I have a little sister that has cerebral palsy, and I see she has lots of determination too. We loved the movie about you – it made my daddy cry! I hope to visit you sometime in Florida :)

    Love,

    Yet another thing is that while searching for a good on-line electronics retail outlet, look for online shops that are regularly updated, trying to keep up-to-date with the most up-to-date products, the top deals, plus helpful information on products. This will make sure that you are dealing with a shop which stays on top of the competition and provide you what you should need to make intelligent, well-informed electronics expenditures. Thanks for the significant tips I have learned from the blog.

    Heya! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard work due to no data backup. Do you have any solutions to protect against hackers?
