Bathers and residents of Castillo del Romeral, in the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana, were surprised to find a dolphin calf in the area's natural pools on Wednesday morning. The unusual visitor quickly attracted the attention of many onlookers.
The animal was promptly rescued by operators and technicians from the Cabildo's Wildlife Recovery Center. Following the rescue operations, the calf was transported to the facilities of the Canary Institute of Marine Sciences, located in Taliarte, Telde, to receive necessary care.
“"It is a suckling and it is alone, so we have it very complicated."
The image of the small dolphin in the pools quickly went viral on social media, attracting more locals and visitors to the site. Despite the rescue, the head of the recovery center expressed concern about the animal's low chances of survival due to its young age and solitary state.
