not bad ) a monofin for a dolphin http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-436369/Fintastic-Dolphin-fitted-artificial-tail.html

(hi) I think it's not a bad idea but why does a dolphin need a flipper when it already has one but it would be fun to see how it works:)

well, the tail fin had to be amputated. therefore the dolphin need an artificial fin

would it make the dolphin swim faster?:)

unbelieveable, the things that are possible nowadays ... and not only dolphins get fitted with artificial fins ... here you can read how a woman who lost both her legs as a child has been turned into a mermaid by the "lord of the rings" special effects team so she can go swimming ... amazing! ... :O greez 8)

It is amazing how that dolphin can have an artificial fin and still be able to swim normaly.He is very lucky .I have heard of artificial arms and legs for humans but never for dolphins.!;)

would it make the dolphin swim faster?

I do not know if the dolphin is faster with it than before the disease. But I'm quite sure that he is still faster than Pavel Kabanov. Sorry Pavel. But I'm also sure that Pavel is running faster 100m on a tartan track, than the dolphin ever would
