Beloved dolphin Winter is under the weather

Winter is sick.

The area's beloved dolphin with a prosthetic tail — made famous by the Pulitzer-nominated St. Petersburg Times story and the 2011 family film Dolphin Tale — is under close watch at Clearwater Marine Aquarium after the Animal Care Team noticed Winter acting strange last week.

• Tests suggest the dolphin may be fighting a gastrointestinal infection, the aquarium announced Sunday.
