| Moonshine is a male pantropical spotted dolphin that stranded in 2003 in the Florida Keys and found on the beach with a severe sunburn. After several months of treatment by the Marine Animal Rescue Society of Miami, he was brought to Mote for additional treatment. Although Moonshine's sunburn eventually healed following treatment at Mote, a liver abnormality has kept him from being released. |
