Rehabilitated dolphin arrives at Florida Keys facility

Rehabilitated dolphin arrives at Florida Keys facility

A juvenile bottlenose dolphin has been flown to the Florida Keys for permanent sanctuary after spending nine months healing at a Texas-based marine rehabilitation center.

The orphaned male calf, named “Ranger,” arrived Friday at the Florida Keys-based Dolphin Research Center. He was rescued in June 2021 after being discovered stranded in waters around Goose Island State Park in Texas suffering from an underlying respiratory infection and dehydration. He was found near his dead mother and was transported to the Texas State Aquarium Wildlife Rescue Center.

The National Marine Fisheries Service determined the dolphin could not survive in the wild and chose the Dolphin Research Center to care for the marine mammal for the rest of his life.

“We provide sanctuary for any dolphins in need of a forever home,” said Linda Erb, DRC’s vice president of animal care and training. “Oftentimes when a dolphin-like this is found at such a young age, he has not learned the skills to catch his own fish.”...........

Honestly, I thought he was beyond rehabilitation.

OK, he's cute.

 :laugh:   :beer:  His name is Ranger. We have visited several rehab aquariums here in FL and I enjoy seeing some of the rescues.

Outta Rehab, huh?  I hope he's getting his life back on track, maybe he can aspire to being a Rap artist or going back to school?

Definitely back to school -- he probably can't even catch his own fish.  :shrug:
