Juvenile Dolphin in Trouble! (happy ending)

It appears that a juvenile dolphin has tried to beach itself. What you are seeing is hard to watch, but if you stay with the video long enough, it has a happy ending. At around 2 minutes into the video, look for the fishing boat in the left-hand corner and about twenty seconds later, look for the man wearing the orange shirt walking into the picture.

There is some reason this juvenal has been separated from the pod. For example, a predictor was in the area, it was sick or injured, or something had happened to it’s mother. The possibilities are many, but it appears clear that the animal is stressed.

It is hard to watch and not care how this turns out. The entire video is over 9 minutes long would show the boat backing up like it does here for another 2:12 with nothing exciting happening until they released the animal about a minute and a half from the end of this video. Your guess is as good as mine what happened after that. In this story, however, he found its mother and lived happily ever after.

Thank you for watching ScubaToad.
