When Winter, an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin, was three months old, she
was rescued from a crab trap off the east coast of Florida, her tail seriously
damaged. She was rushed to Clearwater Marine Aquarium, where she was
cared for around the clock by a special team. Winter survived, though
eventually her tail fell off, which made it diffi cult for her to swim like a
normal dolphin and caused serious damage to her spine. Then something
amazing happened. A team of experts from a renowned company that
makes prosthetics for humans heard about Winter and decided to help.
Now Winter is using a prosthetic tail with great command.
