One winter morning off the coast of Florida a baby dolphin got caught in a crab trap, which strangled her tail. A fisherman saw she was in trouble and rescued her. But how could a dolphin survive without a tail? This is Winter's Tale.
It was December 10, 2005; there was only one fisherman - Jim Savage - braving the freezing temperatures on Mosquito Lagoon. That's when he noticed something strange among another fisherman's crab traps - a baby dolphin struggling to free herself from the netting. Jim spoke to her and tried to calm her as he cut her free from the line.
When Jim saw she was too tired to swim away, he called Florida's Fish And Wildlife Conservation Commission to come rescue the dolphin. Once the group arrived they decided to call her Winter and take her back to the center to heal.
Winter was placed in a holding tank and determined to be two to three months old. She wasn't used to eating solid food like fish yet, so the team had to put a feeding tube
