Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.An injured baby dolphin, found almost drowning on the eastern coast of Thailand, is making vast improvements thanks to a team of volunteers.abc.net.au/news/thailand-baby-dolphin-nursed-back-to-health/101379900An Irrawaddy dolphin calf — sick and too weak to swim — was drowning in a tidal pool on Thailand's shore when fishermen found him.
Irrawaddy dolphins, considered a vulnerable species by International Union for Conservation of Nature, are found in the shallow coastal waters of South and South-East Asia and in three rivers in Myanmar, Cambodia and Indonesia.Officials from the marine research centre believe that around 400 Irrawaddy dolphins remain along the country's eastern coast, bordering Cambodia.
They have to hold him up in his tank to prevent him from drowning and feed him milk, initially done by tube, and later by bottle when he had recovered a bit of strength. Thippunyar Thipjuntar, a 32-year-old financial adviser, is one of the many volunteers who come for a babysitting shift with Paradon.
Sumana Kajonwattanakul, director of the marine centre, said Paradon would need long-term care, perhaps as much as a year, until he was weaned from milk and was able to hunt for his own food.
