Back to the Blue

Tom and Misha (picture from Born Free website)

Tom and Misha are two dolphins that recently made it back to the wild, after spending six years in a small and filthy swimming pool in a Turkish resort. Both dolphins were born in the wild, and have been in captivity as part of a dolphin swim for tourists.

After almost two years of planning and rehabilitation, the two dolphins were released back into the ocean. The dolphins are being tracked and appear to be adapting well to life in the wild  They are hunting and have travelled hundreds of miles now that they are free. Their successful rehabilitation and release will hopefully inspire other campaigns to send more captive dolphins back to the blue.
