At around 11am this morning, the body of a white dolphin was found washed ashore at Anglers Beach in Sham Tseng.
The dolphin appeared to have been hit by a hard object on the head and back and so authorities believe he may have died because of injuries caused by a travelling boat or ferry.
A spokesperson from the Ocean Park Conservation Foundation confirmed that the dolphin was a young male Chinese white dolphin. The dolphin was 115cm in length and the body decay suggests the dolphin has been dead for quite some time.
