All-New! Flippers, Facts &Fun (Full show)

I can't wait to show this new director how prepared we are. This was going to be an open rehearsal, but that's great because you all are going to get a sneak peek into the new presentation that we have put together for SeaWorld's 60th anniversary! And this right here is my best friend, Seymour! Me either. But he is going to be so excited with all of the facts that I've learned for this new presentation. Because that is what makes any good presentation, you know. Facts and statistics. I wonder if he's up there now. Yes, I'm up here. And I see that you and Seymour are on time and in your places. I like it. Oh yes sir, we are always on time. Now may I just say what an honor it is to work with such a distinguished, amazing... Yes, that's great, wonderful, amazing. But where is your co-worker, Clyde? Clyde? Oh, he was just backstage a minute ago with Megan. Megan is always live streaming. Clyde! Wait till you see out here. This is so awesome. What a great gig. You're late. For what? Rehearsal! Sorry about that, guys. We didn't want to leave our fans hanging, you know. We're going to get one more live streaming. Click like and subscribe. Hashtag, you're still late. Sorry. We were just trying to, you know, have a little bit of fun. Why didn't you tell me he was up there? All right, let's get started. Do you know why we're all here? I do. We are here to celebrate 60 years of world-class education. World-class conservation. And... Okay, let's get started with Sea Watch Sea Lions. What are they? Oh, we know! They are filled with information about sea lion adaptations. Facts. And more facts. Oh, no. You can take this one. Today, I would like to share with you some amazing facts about California sea lions. The real accolades go to sea lions like Seymour here. Now, many people confuse seals and sea lions. And although they are related, there are some pretty obvious differences. For one, sea lions are much larger than seals. Imagine you're six feet tall, which puts you in the average range of 68 feet for a male California sea lion. And you look like you weigh about 500 pounds. Now, another difference is the way that they move. Sea lions rotate their back hips and walk on all four flippers. Okay, now seals are a little different. Can you show everybody your great seal impression? Good sir. Now, sea lions are very sociable animals, and they do make a wide variety of vocalizations. Did you guys know that sea lions get their names from their very loud roar? And a big predator. Killer whale. And, you guessed it, sharks. It's what I call too much science-y sea lion stuff. Megan, science-y isn't even a word. Well, I think that it should be because it's super fun. Hashtag science-y. Well, this stuff is important to share with our guests. Isn't it, Mr. Director? Yes, it is. See? Nicely done, Seymour. What? Come on. Clyde, do you think you two can handle the next section? Sea lions, where are they found? Absolutely. Sea lions, where... Um, yes, do you have something to say? Okay, you are absolutely right. They are found on the western coast of North America. But, if we work together, we can find some here in Orlando. Copy my each and every move and stay super close. Behind. Yet. Uh, why don't we think together, but we haven't found anything. So, let's spread out. Wait there. I'm going to check over here. I'll let you know if I see anything, and then I'll give... No one live stream that, okay? All right. Um, well, we unfortunately did not have any luck finding any sea lions, but... What are you two doing out here? Oh, there's one. Taking this seriously. She should be taking this seriously, right? Well, it was a little unconventional, but fun. Yeah, hashtag fun. You each clearly have your own style. Now, I need you to work together to demonstrate the strength and agility of the California sea lion. Do you think you can do that together? With Megan? No. But I know... Seymour, show everybody just how high you can jump. That is not very high. Let's try that again. Take it, Jude. It's a good thing this is a rehearsal. Show everybody how high you can jump. That was Seymour perfectly demonstrating the California sea lion's strength and agility. Okay, Clive, you're up next. Oh, man. I really wish that we had live streamed that, but we have our own style, so we'll do it our way. All right, buddy. Let's see just how fast you can swim. There he goes. You said goose. That is Lee. So are you ready to see how fast he can swim? Yes, show me. It's faster than a speeding bullet. Go! That segment actually worked. Oh, yeah. But I'm not 100% sure why. I think we need a break so I can figure it out. Take five, everyone. I could use a soda. A beverage. How about a water? All right. I think we may have found a way for you two to work together. But this next scene will be the real test. It's the conservation scene. Impact. Oh, Seymour, this is my favorite part of the entire presentation. You know, I believe that children really are our future, and conservation requires that we inspire our next generation to care about our planet and the animals that we share it with. Now, sea lions are special because they inhabit both land and sea. And right now, I do need somebody from the next generation to come down here and help me out. Hey, what's your name? So you're going to help me out by throwing that fish right to him, okay? Just hold that fish like that for a signal. Okay, we're going to do it again. So you're going to take your hand like this, and you're going to point it out. One, two, three. A little more. He did exactly what you wanted to do by just pointing at him. That's a thank you. Thank you. We're going to get a picture with you and Seymour. All right, did you come with family? Right there? Okay, we'll take you over to Mom and Dad. You are going to stop rubbing your face on that glass and come over here. All right, so you're going to go here. You're going to go here. You guys know you're wearing the same gloves. All right, everybody, look at Mom and Dad. And on the count of three, everybody say cheese. One, two, three. Cheese! That's pretty fantastic. And we've got to go all the way over here. You come over here again. Clyde, you're up next. All right, Clyde. Inspirational, motivating, observational moment. We are going to need somebody tall. Somebody smart. What's your name? Where are you from? Go stand right here. Now, surely survival animals like Clyde and Seymour by respecting and protecting their wild spaces. So we're going to have you work together with Clyde right now. How does that sound? Awesome. All right, here's what we're going to do. We're going to look at Clyde. We're going to stand on one foot. We're going to see what he does. Are you ready? Go. All right, let's see. A little wobbly, Seth. Do you know why he's not doing anything? In fact, it's not a cue for Clyde. I just wanted to see if you would do it. You did great. All right, now, you saw Brody toss Seymour a fish, right? Seymour caught it. Would you like to try? All right, open wide, Seth. Did you see that? Go ahead, toss it to him nice and high. There you go. That was awesome. All right, now, our group is over here, so we're going to come on over this way, all right, Seth? We are going to get a photo with you and Clyde. Now, do you happen to have anything in your pockets that could be ruined by icicles all over? No. Perfect. All right, you're going to stand right here, Seth. You're going to look at your group. We are going to look over this way, and I need everybody's help on the count of three. We are going to show sea lions. Are you guys ready? What are you doing here, yourself? We're actually sharing some science-y stuff with our guests. What? You said science-y wasn't a word. I know, but it should be, because it's fun. Science-y. This week's SeaWorld, you had fun doing it. And we talked about your coastlines for future generations like Brody and his brothers. Yes, and we were able to show people like Seth how important it is to form special relationships with all the animals in our care. But there is one very important thing we haven't done. What's that? The sea lion presentation ends with a big, splashy finale. See you tomorrow.
