This is an amazing story of a dolphin which got a second chance to swim. Winter had lost her tail in a crab trap and was found two years ago off the cost of Florida when she was two months old. She was taken to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium where the vets nursed her back to life. But with no tail Winter couldn't swim.Animal prosthetics designer Kevin Carroll saw winter and decided to make her a new tail. It took him one and a half years to make but it was worth it. Winter was fitted with a 30in silicone and plastic tail. she might not be the most graceful dolphin out there but at least she can swim now like a real dolphin.

My gosh, this makes me tear up.

I kinda teared up too.

That's so cool that that sort of technology is now being used to help animals and not just humans.
