CLEARWATER, Fla. — Nicholas the rescued dolphin at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium is putting his best fin forward while predicting the winner this Super Bowl Sunday. During his sixth annual Super Bowl pick, Nicholas chose the Cincinnati Bengals to defeat the LA Rams. Officials said Billie is a rescue, like Nicholas, and is helping to raise awareness for adopting pets from shelters and rescue facilities. The Big Game pick was made by Nicholas while he was presented with a choice during his normal enrichment activities. He was orphaned and unable to learn necessary survival skills as a calf, therefore he became a permanent resident at Clearwater Marine Aquarium, officials said.
