7/30/2006 - Dolphin Cove - Submitted by yaytez on 8/2/2006

A 6-year-old boy from Valdosta, Georgia suffered a bruised arm after a dolphin bit him. The dolphin's teeth did not break the skin, and the boy's mother freed the boy by beating on the dolphin's nose. The animal was removed from the exhibit for retraining.
