Rescue & Rehab
Dwarf Sperm Whale
June 4 - 15, 2002, MMC's efforts were given to a dwarf sperm whale, whom we named
Doc. He was found beached near Naples, and was transported
to the MMC site. Unfortunately, rehabilitation was not successful,
but Doc’s data will be used to treat others of his species
in the hope that one day we can treat, stabilize and release this
species back into the wild. Doc's memory lives in the inspiration of Artist Liz Nicholas.
