Dolphins also need to care for their skin. A dolphin caretaker at Hualien’s Farglory Ocean Park said dolphins are prone to dry, cracked skin in the winter, and shared a video of him applying Vaseline to their skin for protection, which unexpectedly went viral.

Five dolphins at Hualien’s Farglory Ocean Park respond to their trainers’ gestures, jumping into the air and diving back into the water. While the dolphin show has been replaced with an educational program, these five dolphins are still the park’s stars.

We hope that the animals in the park will receive even better care and that visitors can learn more about them from a different perspective.

This dolphin caretaker, Lao Tien, has been at the park for 12 years and often posts about his work on social media. One recent post got a lot of attention.

It turns out dolphins also need skincare. This post about applying Vaseline to the dolphins’ skin in winter went viral.

I covered the skin around this area so that it will retain moisture. This way it won’t crack due to cold weather or dry winds.

The skin around the dolphin’s blowhole tends to get dry and crack in the winter, just like human skin. Lao Tien tried using Vaseline to keep the skin hydrated. The video’s popularity led the brand to approach him to collaborate.

We hope that sustainability can become a tangible and visible action and to create a space where people can experience it in a tangible and meaningful way.

The collaboration between the ocean park and Vaseline shows both organizations are turning their focus to sustainable development.
