Dolphin tale what was true

The news that an updated documentary about Winter the dolphin is being filmed came from a year-old celebrity Thursday. Cozi Zuehlsdorff, who played young Hazel in the movie Dolphin Tale and will help narrate the documentary, was the center of attention during the announcement at the Harborview Center downtown Thursday morning.

More than people lined up to take photos with her. The movie Dolphin Tale took some liberties with Winter's story for dramatic effect.

The documentary, Winter: The Dolphin that Could , will tell the true story of how Winter lost her tail in a crab trap line, was given a prosthetic replacement, and is thriving at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium.

The documentary now being filmed will update and replace an earlier one with the same title that was produced in and was an hour long. He and Cozi will co-host the new version.

By doing this, Winter was able to work all the muscles that surround her crucial peduncle, allowing her to then still swim comfortably when the prosthetic is off.
