Injured dolphin rescued in south China

Injured dolphin rescued in south China

An injured dolphin found in a bay in Haikou, capital of south China's Hainan Province, was rescued and sent to a professional wildlife center according to The Xinhua News Agency reports.

The dolphin seemed to be trapped in the Longzhu Bay and would not leave. After spotting the animal at around 7 a.m., rescuers initially tried to guide it back to the sea and used a net to stop it from heading ashore.

However, rescuers had to change their plan after it suddenly swam back and hit the net. It was loaded into an aquatic-wildlife transport vehicle and sent to a professional wildlife rescue center.

The dolphin was found to have an abdominal injury, with the wound showing signs of festering. The rescue center will provide 24-hour monitoring and further treatment as required.
