The story of Lolly, the big Bottlenose female

5. April 2008

Text and photos: Katharina Heyer, firmm KH

We saw Lolly the first time 4 years ago, in April 2004. She was sighted and remembered because of a fungal infection on her dorsal fin which was diagnosed by Prof. David Senn. Lolly is a Bottlenose female, mother of a little calf which is also showing a white fungal infection. The fungal infection on the fin of Lolly did not grow much, but the one on Lolly’s back got worse during the last 4 years.
