Eventually, though, Winter's tail fell off, which caused her to compensate by swimming with a side- to- side motion like a fish instead of an up- and down motion like a dolphin. Over time, it was apparent that she was seriously damaging her spine. Then something amazing happened. A team of experts from a renowned company that makes prosthetics for humans heard about Winter and decided to help. Now Winter is learning how to use a prosthetic tail, and her odds for living the normal life of a dolphin are looking great - Winter is thriving and using her new tail with great command.
