The National Aquarium is celebrating a birthday today: Foster, one of our youngest Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, born at the Aquarium on September 9, 2007, is 5 years old today!
About Foster
Name meaning: Foster was given his name due to his very unique upbringing. Because Jade was a first-time mother, experienced moms Shiloh and Chesapeake helped her raise him. All three females nursed Foster when he was a baby.
Gender: Male
Weight: 270 pounds
Family Tree: Son of Jade (dam) and Sebastian (sire)
How to Recognize: Guests can recognize Foster by his light coloring. He also has big, beautiful eyes and a slight underbite, much like his mom Jade.
Trainer’s Note: Even though he’s one of our youngest dolphins, Foster has a big appetite. He eats about 21 pounds of fish per day!

Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this site. It’s simple, yet effective.
A lot of times it’s very hard to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and visual appearance. I must say that you’ve done a
very good job with this. In addition, the blog loads super
quick for me on Internet explorer. Exceptional Blog!
