Winter the Dolphin is getting sicker and officials with Clearwater Marine Aquarium are “exploring all possible options to save Winter’s life.”
The dolphin that gained fame in the “Dolphin Tale” film and its sequel swims with the help of a prosthetic tail. The female dolphin was rescued in 2005 after being found entangled in crab trap line that led to her tail being amputated.
Aquarium officials posted earlier this week that the Atlantic bottlenose dolphin was likely fighting a gastrointestinal infection. On Wednesday, an update said that although the dolphin has been receiving treatment, “her intestinal abnormalities have intensified, making Winter’s condition critical.”
