Dolphin beached on Marina put back in sea
CHENNAI: A dolphin
which beached on the Marina, on the stretch opposite Vivekananda House,
on Thursday afternoon was put in a boat and helped back into the sea.
S David, a witness, said the young dolphin was spotted by some boys playing on the beach. They began playing with it. As the news spread, a number of people gathered around the dolphin.
Some of them tried to pushed the dolphin back to the sea but failed. A witness who resides near the beach said the Marina mammal seemed to have enjoyed the company of the children even though it was in a helpless position.
Finally, with the crowd getting bigger, some fishermen put the dolphin in a boat, went to the high seas and released it.
Meanwhile, in faraway Thiruvottiyur, a dolphin washed ashore dead. Before fishermen could go there, someone had carried away the carcass, police said.
