Beached dolphin in St. Johns County being treated for injuries

Beached dolphin in St. Johns County (St. Johns County Sheriff's Office)

An injured dolphin is heading to SeaWorld to be treated for injuries that may have been caused by a propeller.

The St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office says they assisted biologists and a vet earlier today, after the dolphin was discovered where it apparently beached itself. We’re told the dolphin was evaluated, and then moved to a small inflatable pool. It will be treated at SeaWorld.

Investigators say the injuries appear to have been made from a propeller.

Luckily, the dolphin’s prognosis is good.
