Stranded dolphin on the mend - al.com: "GULFPORT — A month ago, an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin, storm-battered and suffering a series of ailments, lay at death's door on a Gulf Shores beach.

'From almost dying to what we have now is a pretty amazing recovery,' said Moby Solangi, executive director of the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies. 'Generally they don't survive.'"
