Delfina

Our first manatee we are able to identify is Delfina.  Delfina has an odd shaped tail as it is not paddle like, but resembles more the tail of a dolphin.  Delfina was captured on film at the following locations:
  • 2011 - North Gallows
  • 2015 - Caye Caulker
  • 2017 - North Gallows
Manatees are normally do not travel together, but footage from 2011 and 2017 has Delfina traveling with Notch, our second manatee we are able to ID by physical deformities.  Each time they were observed in 2011 and 2017 Delfina and Notch were together.

2011 - North Gallows

Delfina appears at 2:48 until the end and is joined by Notch at 4:35.

2015 - Caye Caulker

Here is Delfina when she was photographed 4 years after the first sighting.  Her tail is showing signs of additional scaring.

The sighting of Delfina at Caye Caulker indicates her migration path includes areas around the reef at North Gallows and Caye Caulker.
