Thank you old friends

Gambit was surrounded today by people who have known him through his time at SEA WORLD. Some flew in to spend his 40th with him from other places in South Africa. It became incredibly evident how much he has shaped and touched people's lives. Not that I ever doubted it, but to see that people are still connected to him at a soul level is magical. God gave us an incredible gift in this great creature. Thank you all for sharing it with us, and to those of you who were with us in spirit

And he keeps on at it. Little Jemma, daughter to one of Gambit's old trainers is just five. And she refuses to wash her face tonight because she kissed Gambit. She cried all the way through his show. He keeps on blessing us. Also, little Josh, just six years old saved up his pocket money and bought a cooler box filled with pilchards as a gift for our king. Thank you Josh and Jemma for joining Gambit's cause, to share love, joy, and to champion marine conservation.

On his retirement. A tribute to a legend

Veterinarian & human extraordinaire. 50 years of true service to the animal world, the animal people, and to his animal-loving family. Four siblings all who care significantly for animals as a result of the way we were raised. To respect life. Because that is who our father his. Our father is more than a vet. He is a compassionate man. A vet who took his oath to care for animals to the greatest level, inspiring those close and around him to do the same. Caring so deeply. Working so hard. Ensuring that he always did his best. He has such depth and wisdom. He has always had a following of people in his life who he wisely guides. His generosity is boundless. He has inspired his children way more than can be imagined. We are pretty sure there are not many people who are so fortunate to have this example of humble love to follow. We are equally unsure whether we can truly honour his example by dupli...

2026 is already a kaleidoscope of joy

celebrating a 21 year old

21 years ago today I had been working at Sea World in Durban for just four months. And I was priveleged to witness the birth of a baby dolphin. I was even more honoured to be taken under the wing of a senior trainer to work with the mother and calf from the time of the birth. Wow can be the only word to describe this experience. I was new to all of this, and had this little creature to care for, and get to know. Suffice is to say he stole my heart, lock stock and soul. His name is Jula. I cannot describe the gratitude I feel for being a part of Jula's life. He is an angel. A gem, and master, a teacher, a gentle soul who knows so much more than I ever will. Heartfelt life time gratitude to his mother Frodo and father Gambit, and happy birthday to the heart thief, Jula. Love you angel!!!
