Sea Lion Presentation (Full Show) - SeaWorld Abu Dhabi - August 8, 2023

This is the current sea lion presentation running at SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, which opened earlier this year in May. The website states that the show features animals other than sea lions (such as birds and otters) but this show only had sea lions at this time.

Unlike most other SeaWorld parks that mainly use male sea lions in their shows, this SeaWorld park performs with both female and male sea lions! I also really love the viewing window into the Rocky Point exhibit on stage. Sometimes, you'll even see other sea lions or harbor seals swim by the background! See below for highlights:

0:39 - First sea lion appearance
1:43 - This sea lion tripped while standing on its hind flippers
4:09 - The bad guy of the show, a rogue fisherman, first appears
8:04 - Sea lion bows
10:00 - Volunteer segment, she gets to feed and take a photo with a sea lion
13:20 - Catching the rogue fisherman! I suspect a sea lion is supposed to push her in the water but they might not have finished that behavior yet
14:30 - A sea lion misses a cue to come out and perform CPR on the fisherman. They try it again at 16:08 and succeeded!
19:14 - Sea lion dance finale
