Dolphins swim at the Nizuc Aquatic Park in Cancun
24th July 2003 Planet Ark
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.
