Remember the Katrina dolphins? Their amazing journey began in Mississippi. Hurricane Katrina destroyed their aquarium.

Still, the captive dolphins escaped through the mangled metal during the storm surge and swam into the wild.

Days later, some passing boaters reported various dolphins doing tricks and begging for food.

Rescue teams eventually found the wayward pod, fed them, brought them ashore, put them in tanks at a nearby navy base and finally, flew them to a new home in the Bahamas. It was only a matter of time before the boy dolphins here saw the girl dolphins … and now there are two new members of the Katrina dolphin pod.
