A infant dolphin is lowered in to a swimming pool hours after being rescued.The mammal was discovered by walkers on a beach near the Uruguayan capital, Montevideo.
It was suffering from injuries believed to have been caused by a fishing net.There was no sign of its father.The dolphin is only about0 days elderly. Richard Tesore, head of the NGO Rescate Fauna Marina, has been caring for small animal in Piriapolis, 62 miles east of the capital, Montevideo.And while his cute charge is a hit with visitors, it seems they must queue behind a penguin in the event that they need to see him. The Magellan penguin is also being looked after at the centre & has taken an interest in the new patient.The natural survival rate for dolphins within their first year of life in the wild is twenty per-cent. The death toll of captive born dolphins is much higher. According to the US Marine Mammal Stock Document did between 1960 & 1993 over 50 per-cent of the dolphins born in captivity within the first months of life.
