Bunsen was at RPP in 1999 and the beginning of 2000 along with Beaker. They then both got sent over to DIP, until May 26, 2001 when Bunsen came back to RPP. This time it was without Beaker. This time he stayed until January 27, 2002 when he was sent back to the show. While at RPP he would swim with Penny in the mother/calf position. The only problem with this was Penny had a calf of her own, Copper. So, Penny would swim around the pool with Copper, 2 years old, and Bunsen, 3 years old under her. It was the cutest thing to watch because Penny was a small dolphin, and Copper and Bunsen were already almost her size. Copper and Bunsen were really good friends as well. Then when Dottie and Polka moved in to RPP, Bunsen became quick friends with Polka as well. He then was moved to the show, where he was introduced as Duncan and later as Zeke. He performed along with the other young boys. He is a very creative and smart little dolphin. Last year he was moved to the US navy where he is said to be doing well.

Physical description: He is a darker little dolphin, with a large head and large, dark rostrum. His under belly is spotted in-between the dark gray and light gray. He has many rake marks. He has a nick in his left tail fluke.
Dolphin you may be most likely to confuse him with: none, he is a very unique looking dolphin
