WORLDS TALLEST MAN SAVES DOLPHINS!
BEIJING (AFP) - The world's tallest man has rescued two dolphins in northeast China by using his long arms to retrieve pieces of plastic from their stomachs, state press reported.
The 2.36-meter (seven-foot-nine-inch) tall Bao Xishun stuck his meter-long arm down the throats of the two dolphins at an aquarium in Liaoning province and retracted the plastic that was killing the animals, Xinhua news agency said Thursday.
The two mammals had ingested the plastic after chewing on the plastic sides of their pool at the Royal Jidi Ocean World aquarium in Fushun city, reports said.
"Dolphins usually put on a show for us visitors so when I was told they were ill, I felt I should give them a hand - literally. I never thought my long arm could be used this way," the report quoted Bao as saying.
The two dolphins, Hai Hai and Le Le, now appear to be on the road to recovery after the bizarre operation that took place Wednesday, the report said.
Vetinarians at the aquarium had been unable to get the plastic out of the dolphins' stomachs.
"The unidentified objects were hard to handle and the stomachs of the dolphins shrank drastically every time we tried to take them out," Zhu Xiaoling, a local doctor, told Xinhua.
Zhu then suggested trying to extract the pieces by hand, but soon found that the arm of an ordinary person was not long enough to reach the dolphins' stomachs.
Bao, a 54-year-old herdsman from neighboring Inner Mongolia who is well known in China, had a day of training before performing the bizarre operation.
I should explai that Bao Xishun is Chinese for Gresleyram...
No need to thank me everyone, all in a days work! But..when i was asked to go to China for some 'deepthroat action', this wasnt what i had in mind!
;D ;D
