Nellie, the world's oldest dolphin living in captivity, celebrates her 56th birthday Friday morning with trainer Melissa Berdine and an ice cake decorated with herring and squid at Marineland's Dolphin Conservation Center. Having already lived more than twice the average lifespan of a female Atlantic Bottlenose dolphin in the wild, Nellie continues to eat well, socialize with her peers and interact with staff and guests. Nellie starred in shows at Marineland's dolphin stadium during the 1950s and 1960s and appeared in Timex watch commercials in the 1960s.
