Rehabilitated dolphin arrives at Florida Keys facility

In this photo provided by the Florida Keys News Bureau, marine mammal experts carry Ranger, a two-year-old bottlenose dolphin to a medical pool at Dolphin Research Center, Friday, March 25, 2022, in Marathon, Fla. The juvenile male was flown to the Florida Keys from the Texas State Aquarium Wildlife Rescue Center after it was rescued in June 2021 at Goose Island State Park in Texas suffering from a respiratory infection and dehydration after his mother had died. Because the dolphin can't be released, National Marine Fisheries Service determined that DRC be his forever home.
