Cormie swims over to her handler Melisa Colvin to participate in a keel check. Cormie will nestle into the edge of the tank while Colvin gently feels along Cormies chest to assess muscle mass, an important indicator of Cormie's overall health. This is one of the many ways Cormie acts as a participant in her own care. Helps that she knows she'll get a few pieces of fish for her trouble.
