The most popular show at the Texas Ranch Lanzarote is the dolphin show, whilst called a show this is more like a demonstration where you get to see how these incredible mammals behave in the wild. They are new to Rancho and arrived in 2018, their home is state of the art and was built with so much care and actual pumps natural seawater direct from the ocean. The dolphins were bred in captivity and were not in the best of places before arriving in Lanzarote and the owner of the Lanzarote zoo bought them to the island for a better life. There has been some controversy over this as some say they should be released into the wild but the fact of the matter is they would not survive, so Rancho has made the best home for them and they work with some of the most qualified people.
