This week is part two of the prosthetics arc where we look exclusively at one dolphin who lost her tail but not her spirit - how that dolphin's journey saved the wildlife rehabilitation center she lived in, helped humans with advancements in prosthetic tech, and saved countless animals after her death in 2021, all while schmoozing with Morgan Freeman, Ashley Judd and Harry Connick, Jr. Let's meet Winter the Dolphin.
