A fishery administration worker in Rudong of East China's Jiangsu Province tries to rescue some 33 dolphins, after hearing reports from local fishermen around 4 AM that a large brood of dolphins went aground at the county's seashore Friday morning. After three hours of rescue work, all the stranded dolphins were helped into the sea with the rising tide. Experienced fishing people said the rare grounding in the country of such a large number of dolphins may be caused by a strong ocean current after the dolphins lost their way in search of fish.
