World’s Tallest Man Saves Two Dolphins

// December 18th, 2006 // My Stuff

Two dolphins in China’s Liaoning Province became ill from swallowing plastic from the edge of their pool. The dolphins’ stomachs contracted making attempts to use surgical instruments to remove the plastic fail.

Veterinarians then decided to call on 54 year old Bao Xishun, a 7′ 9″ (2.29m) herdsman from Inner Mongolia. Bao Xishun was declared the World’s Tallest Living Man by the Guinness Book of World Records last year. His long arms (1.06m) allowed him to reach into the stomachs of the dolphins and pull most of the plastic pieces out.

The dolphins are expected to make a full recovery.

BBC news has a video clip attached to their coverage of this story.
