The top postcard says on the back-Feeding time in the world's only oceanarium! Some of the hundreds of visitors are shown gathering on the top deck to watch the porpoises leap high out of the water to take food from the land of the feeding attendant. Porpoises, being air-breathing mammals consequently have to come to the surface to breathe and some times in their eagerness to be fed will leap as high as 8 to 9 feet clear of the water. Porpoises have been unofficially clocked at speeds up to 40 miles an hour.
The middle card-
Designed as the only underwater motion picture studio in the world, Marine Studios provides an ultra-modern background for its fascinating and unusual exhibit of deep sea creatures.
The bottom one-
"Pudgy" the porpoise, leaps high with glee at his new home in the giant oceanarium at Marineland, Florida. The porpoises at Marine Studios are the only ones in captivity, and thousands upon thousands of visitors have witnessed their unusual antics. Marine Studios is located 18 miles south of St. Augustine on Ocean Boulevard, Florida Route #1.
All 3 postcards are unused, but I am guessing that they date around the 40s.
