Beached dolphin in St. Johns County being treated for injuries

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.
