Dolphin With Scoliosis Has Died

Filed under Dolphins

In October we posted the story of Ayla the dolphin. She was 14 years old and was battling scoliosis. Unfortunately she has passed away at the Minnesota Zoo.

A zoo official said workers knew Ayla didn't have much time left. Nonetheless, officials and staff mourned her passing. The animal lived much longer than most dolphins who share the deformity.
