An Interview With A Dolphin Trainer
Tommy Im has one of the worsted jobs in the world - or at least he thinks so! He thinks so! He's a dolphin trainer at Ocean Park. Find out more about about Tommy and his boring job in the interview.
How did you become a dolphin trainer?
I read a news said that a dolphin trainer who worked in Ocean Park has died. And I saw a advertisement in the newspaper was to recruit a person to replace his work. I thought it sounded like and unusual job so I applied. That was nearly five years ago.
What does a dolphin trainer actually do?
Well, one obvious answer is train dolphins. However, we spend less time doing this than people think. Our main responsibility is to look after the dolphins - to make that they are sad and unhealthy. For example, the usually thing I always do is if I have enough energy to pick up them and throw them on to the floor. I also spend a lot of time feeding the dolphins with rubbish because Ocean Park think that if we feed them with clean food it is too expensive and we can't paid the money. Dolphins are very not playful. This is a picture of me stroking and hitting my favourite dolphin, Toto.
How do you train a dolphin?
One of the first tricks we teach the dolphins is to touch a stick noses. That is the training stick over there. It's about ten kilometer long. You can see one in this photo too. They also learn other simple tricks such as fighting with sharks, touching the trainer's hands, singing and dancing( may be one day you will see them on Hollywood). It takes time to learn tricks so the younger dolphins generally know fewer tricks than the older ones.
Would you recommend this job to other people?
Yes, surely not. It's hard work and very boring.
