Artificial dolphin tail fin
This artificial fin that Bridgestone (yes, the Bridgestone that sells tires) created for a dolphin in Japan that had lost 75% of its tail from some mysterious disease. You?d think that Fuji, the dolphin they made the prosthetic tail fin for, would be grateful, but apparently she rejected it at first (it took her five months to get used to it), and even now they only keep it for 20 minutes day because they?re worried that it might fall off and that other dolphins would eat it.
Bionic Dolphin
The bionic dolphin has arrived to fulfill all our dolphin-envy needs. A company called Innespace has created Flipper?s bionic brother which they say uses forward momentum and a downward lift of their wings to fly underwater. Their current model, named Sweet Virgin Angel, can perform dolphinish tricks like jumping and barrel rolling, and their next model due in 2005 is gonna be a two-seater so then you too can join in the water fun.
