Weight / Length: 11.3kg / 45.4cm (on admission);

Moxa was found by Four Seasons staff near Voavah Private Island. She suffered from lacerations on her front flippers and abrasions around the body. She was transfer to Kuda Huraa for rehabilitation and treatment. We hope we can avoid amputation and save both flippers, so she can be returned to the wild.
