Massive crowds gathered
around a dead dolphin on the beach resort at Santa Teresita in Argentina after
one man picked it up alive from the sea to take selfie.
It appears that due to
overheat it quickly died while out of the water.
It was still being passed
around by the beach-goers after its death and was later left discarded in the
sand.
The dolphin was from the La
Plata - also known as the Franciscana - variety, found off the coasts of
Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil.
It is considered a
"vulnerable" species because there are only about 30,000 left in the
world.
The Argentine Wildlife
Foundation later issued a reminder to the public of the mammal's extreme
vulnerability, hoping it will prevent such a sad event again.
