She was kept for a year and a half in a natural lagoon and was diving for crabs and mollusks on her own. Her migration path shows her foraging around San Pedro, but the points are not registering on the map. Local tour guides were reporting sightings and that she was was doing well, until she was struck and killed by a boat. She washed ashore near Banyan Bay and her tag was recovered. |
