Flipper the Dolphin
There's Flipper, Flipper, Flipper the Flapper! That's nostalgia!
In 1963, the first film about Flipper, the dolphin was released. The film was a great success, so a year later Flipper became a television series. In it, the dolphin had all sorts of adventures with Buddy and Sandy. Those were the sons of the nature reserve overseer.

Because of Flipper's film, people got more and more interested in dolphins, dolphins were created, for example the Dolphinarium in Harderwijk in 1965.
Flipper was a bottlenose dolphin. That's a dolphin species. The film was made with 7 dolphins (not one), the most famous were Suzy and Cathy. Bebe, the last dolphin to play Flipper, turned 41.
