A juvenile male bottlenose dolphin named Ranger adapts to his new home at the Dolphin Research Center in Marathon, Florida. Ranger was flown to the Florida Keys from the Texas State Aquarium Wildlife Rescue Center after being rescued in June 2021 from Goose Island state park in Texas suffering from a respiratory infection and dehydration following his mother’s death. Because the dolphin cannot be released, the National Marine Fisheries Service chose DRC to be his home
