A web site about purchasing, training, and battling dolphins

About

My name is Jim Whitington. I discovered the world of dolphin fighting in 1997 during a trip out to Vegas. I fought and trained my own dolphin, Mr. Smiley Wiggles, for four years, and now mostly enjoy going to matches and helping other dolphin fighting trainers learn the ropes.

Winter and his new tail

image3151289g.jpgOne of my old fighting pals, Kevin Carroll, has built a prosthetic tail for his retired dolphin Winter (who now lives at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium and Aquatic Battle Colosseum. CBS and Engadget have all the details. I can’t wait until battle-ready prosthetics are on the market. I suspect they’ll really up the stakes for what this sport is capable of.
