Dolphins swim at the Nizuc Aquatic Park in Cancun


24th July 2003

Dolphins swim in the Nizuc Aquatic Park
in the Caribbean resort of Cancun,
Mexico on July 22, 2003.




The park bought 28 South Pacific bottlenose dolphins from the anarchy-torn Solomon Islands and flew them to Mexico on a DC-10 jet early this morning. Environmentalists fear the dolphins could have suffered trauma from being uprooted from their natural habitat and also could potentially infect local Mexican dolphins with new diseases.
