A tail even a dolphin could love
Hi All,
I have writen before about Winter the dolphin. She lost her tail fluke due to her abandonment from her mother and getting caught in a crab net line. She was rescued and now on her way to recovery. A very a cool story. Well in the news the other day there is a post about her receiveing her prosthetic fluke to try on.
Here is an excerpt from the article:
The Clearwater Marine Aquarium unveiled a one-of-a-kind prosthetic fin Friday that could help the young dolphin Winter avoid developing a curvature of the spine which could put her in a permanent “bend” position. The female lost her own tail fluke in an accident in 2005.
Let’s pray this tail works out and we will all see Winter swimming around her pool soon! 
God Bless,
John
