blow dolphins

With this controlled medical behavior, our dolphins are trained to respond with a hard blow from the blowhole as if they were sneezing. We tap behind the blowhole and we can take a sample of the fluids for medical purposes. In this case, I trained Athena to rest on my knee and respond to the tap.
