Sharky was born in 1982 and was captured a few years later. She was given her name because she was attacked by sharks when she was little. She came to Kolmården Zoo on March 9th 1993 toghether with Lotty and Betty. They all came from an English dolphinarium, Flamoingoland, and were the last dolphins there. Sharky gave birth to her first calf, Daphne, in 1994 and Lotty gave birth to her first calf, Lotus, in 1995. After a few years Betty was moved to Gardaland in Italy. In 2001 or 2002 Sharky gave birth to her second calf, Max, who unfortunately passed away after 1 or 2 years. On April 3rd 2005 Sharky was moved to Marineland Antibes together with Lotty and Lotty’s son Fenix. In 2006 Sharky’s daughter Daphne passed away at Kolmården Zoo, but in January 2007 Sharky gave birth to her third calf Mila-Tami! Sharky lives with Mila-Tami and 6 of Marineland’s other dolphins in one of the dolphin centres and she participates in the dolphin show. Sharky is pregnant and is expected to give birth to her calf in spring 2010.
