What would a waterpark by SeaWorld be without some amazing animals who call this place home?

Meet the beautiful, black-and-white Commerson's Dolphins, the star animals at Aquatica. These high-energy dolphins are best known for their distinct markings-and their appetite for fun. They'll spend their whole day racing, playing, and even swimming upside down. Sound like anyone you know?

Tucked away inside Aquatica, you'll find a beautiful lagoon colored by exotic fish. The best place to see them? On a raft through Loggerhead Lane.

So what about all those whimsical characters you see popping up all over the park and on our site-ever wonder what animals inspired them? Just keep an eye out and you'll see, as these real life animal ambassadors and their trainers make their way through the park to welcome our guests.

Look for the leggy spoonbill-as soon as you spot him, you won't need to be a rocket scientist to see where he gets his name. Listen for the happy-go-lucky call of the kookaburra-a bird known throughout the South Seas for a song that sounds like laughter. Take on a tortoise for a little one-on-one race action-though you might need to crawl to give the guy a fair shot. Meet macaws, termite-loving Tamanduas (you may know this one as an anteater), and other exotic animal hosts.
