CJ is a common/Bottlenose dolphin hybrid your lucky to have swam with him he's also the "star" of the Discovery cove commercial..
As you rightly say, CJ's mum Jenny is an Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphin.
His dad is a Common Dolphin. I was lucky enough to see wild Common
Dolphins near Catalina Island on one of our trips to Southern
California. They are much darker than Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins
(depending on how the light reflects off them they almost look steel
blue) and have a very distinct stripe.
If you can afford to do the Beluga programme, I would definitely
recommend it. I did the Marine Mammal Keeper Experience at Seaworld
Orlando twice and as part of this I had the chance to interact with
Belugas. This is truly amazing.

Thank you! I'm printing out both of your replies...so I can add them to our scrapbook (when I get that far!).
Both of my girls have asked for prints of CJ & them...for their lockers, one wants a mousepad, the other wants a frame on her desk. You know, this was their 7th and 8th trip to disney & they've only asked for pictures of them & their favorite characters maybe once or twice....but they are STILL talking about DC, to their friends, their teachers, everyone that will listen. I'm so glad I decided to do it. I know it's expensive, and i did think about it for a long time...but it was so worth it.
I hope everyone that's going soon has an amazing time as well
