Tyre manufacturing company has come to the rescue of Fuji the dolphin who was stricken by a mysterious life threatening illness and lost her fin. She caught a disease that begun gradually rotting her tail and her tail had to be amputated to save her life. For awhile the now 37-year old Fuji survived without a fin, but her lack of exercise and weight gain proved problematic. A friend of the handler's working at one of Japan's leading tyre makers, Bridgestone Corp, offered to make them an artificial tail fin for Fuji, the first of its kind in the world.

  • That's cool, we can we give it a fricken laser beam?

  • Stereotypes for the lose... C'mon. It's a video about a dolphin that got a second chance at life thanks to the efforts of these people. Stop bashing the Japanese as well as other Asian countries. It's just mean, cruel, and uncalled for. Don't get pulled in by all the hateful comments about whale and dolphin slaughter, and just enjoy this instead.

  • little do humans know that dolphins are just as smart and sometimes smarter than humans. in fact i am a dolphin controling a young adult man's brain to type out this comment and post it on a video that i make michael jordan look like a bitch...my ups and balling handling skills speak for themselves...Dolphin for life essay..

  • but will it blend? xd

  • eff you whale, eff you dolphin!

  • @LemonatoR32 It probably is, but that's no reason to kill it. Human flesh probably isn't half bad either. 0/10, try harder.

  • These are obviously people who love dolphins, please don't lump them together with people who kill dolphins who happen to be from the same country. This is why many Japanese anti-whaling activists must feel alienated from the anti-whaling community when they hear hateful comments directed at them. It's disgusting, and it needs to stop, NOW.

  • @Minako1128 You have to look at the big picture, they save ONE dolphin, but kill thousands each yeah. Should I throw them a cookie?

  • @NotStonedJusFuckedUp

    How many dolphins does Japan kill every year? Then they save ONE... You're faith in humanity should not be restored to quickly.

  • The fin must have been sold for fin soup.
