In lieu of flowers, CMA is asking for donations in Winter’s name to Clearwater Marine Aquarium so that they can continue to provide animal care, rescue and rehab efforts. This expansion allows CMA to continue rescuing dolphins just like Winter. Recently, CMA underwent a major renovation that gave her and fellow rescue bottlenose dolphins Hope, PJ, Nicholas, and Hemingway, and rough-toothed dolphins, Rex and Rudolph, and an incredible new dolphin habitat.
Walls of the aquarium are covered in notes and drawings from those she made an impact on over the years, including children with disabilities who gained confidence thanks to her. Winter’s inspiration was apparent in the outpouring of love and support she received on a daily basis. She quickly became an inspiration for people of all ages and went on to star in the movies Dolphin Tale, and Dolphin Tale 2. She gained attention all over the world after she was fitted with a silicone and plastic prosthetic tail that allowed her to swim normally. Winter was a resident of CMA since being rescued in 2005 when she was found with her tail entangled in a crab trap that resulted in the loss of her tail. “I’m honored to work alongside such dedicated and talented professionals who gave their all for Winter.” Our staff worked around the clock during this challenging time,” said Veterinarian Dr. We worked with specialists and marine mammal experts from around the country to provide her with the best care available. “While we are heartbroken by Winter’s death, we are comforted knowing that our team did everything possible to give her the best chance at survival. The medical team tried several life-saving efforts, but she died being held by her caregivers at 8:00 p.m.

Despite round-the-clock care and medical efforts, her condition intensified and she fell into critical condition. She was 16 years old.Įarlier in the week, Winter developed a gastrointestinal infection.
