Winter, the baby dolphin has a prosthetic tail. Winter got caught in a fishermen’s net in Florida. She suffered from deep cuts, so much that the scientists didn’t think that she would make it. They were able to heal the main cuts on her body but they couldn't save here tail. So they made a plastic thing shaped like her old tail and put it on her. Ever since then Winter has been doing great and you would never know that she doesn’t have a real tail.

Zig that was a very interesting article to read. I think it is sad that these terrible things happen to dolphins.
