Spinner Dolphins Beach in Florida Bay An unusual scene unfolded in Florida Bay over the labor day weekend: Five spinner dolphins were found nearly lifeless on shallow mud flats, far from home.  All suffered from extreme dehydration and severe sunburn ( link ).  Two of the spinners were taken to Sea World in Orlando for additional treatment.
