Dolphin Left in Lagoon by Tsunami Is Set Free
From Times Wire Reports
Rescue workers freed an Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin from a small lagoon near Khao Lak, Thailand, where the Indian Ocean tsunami had dumped it, about half a mile inland.
The pink-and-gray dolphin was netted and returned to the Andaman Sea.
The fate of a second dolphin in the lagoon was unclear, because it was not spotted when the other was rescued.
The dolphins were noticed Monday by a man searching for his missing wife.
