WARNING: DISTRESSING IMAGES
The dolphin was passed around like an object (Picture: Facebook/Hernan Coria)An endangered baby dolphin died because tourists pulled it out of the ocean for selfies.
The young Franciscan dolphin was killed at the beach resort of Santa
Teresita in Buenos Aires last week, after a throng of visitors roughly
grabbed the animal and passed it around.
After throwing the animal around like a trophy, the tourists then left it to die in the sand, according to Argentina’s Wildlife Foundation.
Baby dolphin dies after being passed around for selfies
In pictures captured by witness Hernan Coria, some people can even be seen taking photos of the mammal’s lifeless body.
According to the Fundacion Vida Silvestre, the Franciscan species is vulnerable to extinction.
Tourists man-handled the dolphin in the blazing hot sun (Picture: Facebook/Hernan Coria)‘The
Franciscan, like other dolphins, cannot remain above water for long,’
they wrote on their website. ‘It has a very thick and greasy skin that
provides warmth, so the weather quickly causes dehydration and death.’
A spokesperson for Peta added: ‘In their efforts to get a novelty
“selfie”, these holidaymakers showed a naïve – and ultimately fatal –
disregard for life by hauling this baby dolphin out of the sea, where he
or she belonged.
‘One can only imagine the trauma suffered not only by this baby, who
was passed around like a toy by marauding tourists, but also his or her
grieving mother.’
The Franciscan dolphin, so-called because its brown skin looks like a
Franciscan monk’s habit, is found exclusively in the waters of
southeastern South America.
There are only around 30,000 of the dolphins left in the world.

by Dan Edmund Even if you don’t like basketball, it’s very possible you have heard of a man named Yao Ming. He is a Chinese born professional basketball player who played for the Houston Rockets. While that may not sound all that impressive, the thing that really sets him apart is the fact that he is 7 feet 6 inches tall! That’s not a typo. He is really that tall! The great thing is that when Yao Ming is out on the basketball court, he is surrounded by other really tall basketball players. Granted they aren’t as tall as him, but they come within at least a foot of his height. When he’s out and about in the real world though, that’s when you notice a big difference. Here are 46 pictures that show Yao Ming making everyone around him look as small as an ant! 1. 2. Yao Ming and a baby elephant. 3. Yao Ming next to his trainer, kneeling. Look at the height difference. 4. Yao Ming and Luther Head. Luther Head is 6 feet 3 inches tall. 5. 6....
