Second child to be bitten by SeaWorld dolphin
A boy celebrating his birthday at SeaWorld Orlando was bitten on the hand Sunday by a dolphin he was petting.It was the second incident in three weeks in which a dolphin bit a child at SeaWorld's Dolphin Cove, a popular dolphin-petting attraction.
It took two adults to pry the dolphin's mouth open so that 7-year-old Hunter Hovan Quidor's hand could be freed, his mother, Hollie Bethany, said.The bite left the Port Orange boy's right thumb bruised. It did not break through the skin. "Maybe he thought it was a fish," the boy said.SeaWorld spokeswoman Becca Bides said no changes are being planned for the attraction.
