Florida Keys Pod Squad
Looking for Volunteers!
Two beached whales found!
Lady and Squirt, found by young girl Koby Easton, found the whales beached on the sand flats in the night. These whales require a lot of love and patience to recover.
About Koby....
Koby has a prosthetic leg in which she calls her 'leggy'. At first, Koby was very self conscience about it, but soon went on without it. At first, several volunteers were doubtful of Koby, but soon forgot their doubts as Koby showed strength,courage,perseverance, and undying love for the whales
The Joy of Family
Lady and Squirt are very hurt whales after being beached. Lady has a hurt flipper, and squirt has several scrapes on his back and body.
Squirt The Squirt
Squirt is a playful, energetic, and happy whale. He enjoys playing with Koby and with his mother Lady
Lady
Lady cares alot about Koby, just as Koby cares about her. Koby helped Lady out of a shrimp net floating in the ocean. After she was free, she gave birth to Squirt. The shrimp net was the cause of many of her injury's.
The whales...
The whales are Lady, the mother of Squirt, a healthy young male whale. They get better each day with the help of the volunteers and Koby's love for them.
Release Day...
The whales are finally healthy enough to be released into open ocean! "Although Koby is very happy," Says Tracy,"She found it very hard to let go of the thing she loved most.The whales."
