Fuji, a mother dolphin that lost 75 percent of her tail due to a mysterious disease, is jumping once again with the help of what is believed to be the world’s first artificial fin.
“Only after we created the lightest fin in August 2004, we received a call from the aquarium that Fuji finally jumped,” Kobori said.
“When she saw the artificial fin for the first time, she ran away. She was so scared of the object. It took us five months to make her get used to the artificial fin. Now she is perfectly fine with it,” he said.
