Orlando Dolphin bites arm of 6-year-old boy at SeaWorld pool
A juvenile dolphin may be heading back to school after biting a 6-year-old Georgia boy Sunday night at SeaWorld Orlando's dolphin-petting attraction, Dolphin Cove.
The dolphin emerged from the pool and grabbed Brandon Jackson's left arm, though its teeth didn't break the child's skin, his mother, Brenda Harris of Valdosta, Ga., said Tuesday. She said she had to beat on the animal's snout until it let go.
SeaWorld spokeswoman Becca Bides said the dolphin would be watched and might be retrained in a "behavioral-modification" program, normal for what she called a "rare" and minor incident.
The family was given a private dolphin viewing and was offered four tickets for a return visit.
"He's got a bruised arm. He's going to be fine," Harris said. "He doesn't want to see dolphins anymore."
