New video released Tuesday shows the moment a trainer was attacked by a dolphin at the Miami Seaquarium a few days ago. The incident happened on April 9th, about ten minutes into the Dolphin Flipper Show. Video shows the dolphin violently lunge toward the trainer who is seen splashing and trying to swim away from the mammal. In a statement released Tuesday afternoon, the Seaquarium says the trainer, who is recovering, accidentally scratched the dolphin, Sundance, who then reacted by "breaking away from the routin."
