The dolphin, which had sustained multiple shark bite wounds to her body and right pectoral flipper and was suffering from pneumonia, was successfully transported to SeaWorld Orlando where she has been receiving rehabilitation care for the past four months. "@georgiaaquarium Conservation Field Station is proud to be a part of the initial rescue and release of this dolphin following its lengthy rehabilitation. Now, seeing it healthy enough to be released shows the dedication and hard work by all those involved," said George Biedenbach, director of the Georgia #AquariumConservation #FieldStation. "Our goal is to always assist animals in need as best we can, no matter the circumstances and we're glad to see another animal thriving. Every animal counts and it's through collaborative work like this that we can ensure the health and safety of so many #oceananimals." "This is a very exciting day for us. To see this animal in the state she was in, #bittenbysharks, emaciated, in trouble and with life threatening injuries, to as healthy as she is now to swim back out in the ocean, it's just a wonderful day and that's why we do this," said #JonPeterson, Manager of #SeaWorldRescue Operations. During her stay, #SeaWorldveterinarians and the Animal Rescue Team provided 24-hour care to the dolphin, treating her with antibiotics, dewormers, anti-inflammatories, physical therapy and wound care. Prior to her release, the dolphin was fitted with a satellite tag which will enable stranding #networkpartner organizations to continue to monitor her. The dolphin passed a major milestone in her journey to return when she passed a hearing test in April administered by #NOAA Fisheries with the help of SeaWorld. The testing showed the dolphin has full hearing through the entire frequency range necessary for echolocation. It is important for dolphins undergoing rehabilitation to pass a hearing test to ensure hearing loss was not a factor in their stranding. Hearing loss is detrimental to wild dolphins, as they rely on echolocation to hunt, navigate and avoid predators. @seaworldorlando 's Animal #RescueTeam is on call 24/7 to save and care for #injured, #orphaned or #illanimals.
