Dolphin Free!
Dolphin rescue underway (ap)
Phuket, Thailand
6 January 2005
What Happened to the Other Dolphin?
Many people around the world have been following the story of the two dolphins that had been trapped in a newly created lagoon after a big wave carried them one kilometer inland. (see original story)
The first dolphin was eventually rescued (see story) and returned to the sea, but rescuers could not find the second one, reported to be an adolescent. There was concerned that it might have died and gotten caught up in the considerable debris on the bottom of the lagoon.
Edwin Wiek of the Wildlife Friends Rescue Center, who managed the rescue of the first dolphin, has reviewed photos of the dolphins, comparing their dorsal fins and other markings, and concluded that that there was only one dolphin.
