The Dolphin Who Lost Its Tail: Fuji's Story from Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium

This inspiring non-fiction book from Kodansha recounts the remarkable true story of Fuji, a bottlenose dolphin residing at Japan's renowned Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. Fuji tragically lost 75% of its tail fluke due to an incurable disease, threatening its ability to swim and survive. The book details the groundbreaking collaboration between aquarium veterinarians and Bridgestone Corporation engineers who developed the world's first functional artificial tail for a dolphin, allowing Fuji to swim naturally once more. It's a heartwarming tale of innovation, determination, and the deep care for marine life. Note: The text is entirely in Japanese. Brand New Japanese Edition.
