Dolphin Tale

Dolphin tale is one of the most inspiring movies I’ve ever seen. The movie was made for all ages. It teaches us not to give up and not to lose hope.

The story begin when a kid "Sawyer"  found Winter wrapped tightly in a crab trap line and was unable to escape. She was rescued from Mosquito Lagoon (near Cape Canaveral) and transported to CMA to begin a long rehabilitation. Unfortunately, Winter lost her entire tail as well as two vertebrae a result of the serious injuries that she had sustained. Because of that Winter cannot swim normally like any other dolphin. Sawyer seeks many ways he could help winter to get her tale back and he never gave up. Through the fund raising organized by Sawyer and his friends winter got her tale back so Winter can normally swim again like any other dolphin.

Winter's energy and ability to adapt to her new physical form has surpassed the expectations of many experts. Winter has done amazingly well in the short time since her stranding. She has completely healed, adapted to a new swim pattern, and learned to eat fish on her own...about twelve pounds a day! She is growing quickly, and now weighs in at 230 pounds!

Come and visit Winter.......she may have lost her tail, but she'll capture your heart!

These are the actual shots of Winter.
