Hemingway has a slender rostrum and pointed tail flukes.

Hemingway came to us in 2018 from Marineland Aquarium in Florida. Hemingway spends the majority of his time with Jett and Orin. Described as “brilliant,” Hemingway sometimes uses his intelligence to stir up drama amongst the pod. He enjoys keeping busy with enrichment items like hoops and Kong toys. He was named after the famous author Ernest Hemingway.

Indy is very athletic and vocal. A little mischievous, Indy is known to splash water at marine mammal staff or guests to get their attention. Indy is the half-sister to Jett and Orin

Jett has a scar behind his blowhole, a white scar at the base of the leading edge of his dorsal fin and a notch in his flukes.

Jett is an athletic dolphin and loves to play with all of his enrichment. He is eager to learn new behaviors from marine mammal staff and fellow dolphins and feeds off of the energy of his trainers. Jett has strong bonds with Kimo and Hemingway and will act as a mentor to the younger male dolphins of the pod.

Kimo is our largest dolphin, weighing around 500 pounds. He has a wide rostrum that is white in coloration at the tip.

Kimo is the oldest male dolphin in our pod. Although he is more laid back in his relationships with other dolphins, he is motivated to do energetic behaviors when working with marine mammal staff. He is the father of Calypso and Maui.

Maui is one of the smallest members of the pod and has a dark line going from his neck to his belly.

Maui is very energetic and loves seeking attention from anyone who will give it. He loves ice and enrichment. He is the younger brother to Calypso and acts as a big brother to Trooper.

Nova is dark in color and our largest female dolphin. She also has a grey speckled belly and petite features.

Nova is the matriarch of the pod and is our most dominant female dolphin. She is laid-back and patient with both dolphins and humans. She loves back and belly rubs during one-on-one time with her trainers. She is the grandmother of Maui and Calypso.

Orin is always one of the first to welcome new dolphins into the pod. He is always curious and good at problem solving. loves to eat ice. He enjoys spending time with Heminway and Taz. Orin is the son of Jett and was named after the Atlantean alter ego of DC Comics hero Aquaman.

Taz is a long and lean dolphin and has a wide rostrum. He is known for whistling as he swims.

Taz is independent and laid back. He was rescued off the coast of Florida in 2011 when he was an infant. Taz would rather choose to spend time with his pod mates and trainers over enrichment.

Trooper was found stranded off of the coast of Louisiana in May 2020 at 4 weeks of age. He is one the smallest dolphin and has dark marks on the right side of his back from burns he suffered from the sun while on the beach. He is often seen sleeping with his tongue sticking out.

Since arriving to the Indianapolis Zoo, Trooper has formed bonds with Indy and Maui. He is often seen acting to Maui as a little brother would, following him around and copying what he does.
