Product Description

This item is a replica Pacific Bottlenosed Dolphin. This model includes puppeteered animations: head (left/right/up/down), mouth opens/closes, blow hole animates and spouts water, dolphin sounds come out from mellon area, moves back & forth in the water, spins on axis (20°), and generally can be performed like a real dolphin. Amazing close-up detail in the silicone skin, teeth and eyes. One of Animal Makers' finest works.  This item can be configured in a number of ways, which may affect pricing.

As priced, this item includes these movements: head left/right/up/down, mouth opens and shuts, blow hole clears of water leaving a water blast, and it comes on a rolling stand.  This is set up for several technicians to deliver the realistic performance of a live dolphin.

  1. Testimonial #2 from Dolphin Human Therapy

    Posted by Jennifer Reuschlein, Speech Language Pathologist - Dolphin Human Therapy on 30th Apr 2009

    Just a quick note to the entire team at Animal Makers for making the TAD experience so special! Thanks. You made TAD come to life for the children. You are the best puppeteers in the world and TAD is a very special puppet with a lot of potential. I enjoyed meeting all of you. We learned a lot and are amazed at how creative you all are. You were all so accommodating and helpful. Not many people can pick up on all the subtle intricacies of therapy as quickly as you all did. It was a pleasure to work with such professional and fun people. On behalf of the families, the children, and us, thanks. We hope that some of you will come see Dolphin Human Therapy (DHT) in action in Key Largo, Florida someday. But if you don't get a chance soon, at least visit our website, and stay in contact by e-mail. God Bless you and your families.

    Sincerely,

  2. Testimonial #1 from Dolphin Human Therapy

    Posted by Christina Collins, Director, Media & Public Relations - Dolphin Human Therapy on 30th Apr 2009

    This is just a quick note to thank you and your entire team at Animal Makers for making this research and development project so successful. Your puppeteers, engineers, production people, and entire team were super to work with. Your team really made TAD come to life in the pool for the children. You and your team's creativity are only exceeded by your professionalism, sensitivity, and talent! The potential of TAD as observed over the last five days could revolutionize therapeutic tools used in rehabilitation and therapy for special needs children and perhaps adults. On behalf of the children and families that participated in this test, and on behalf of the special needs children of the world that may experience TAD in the future, thank you.

    Sincerely,
