The corpse of an endangered Irrawaddy dolphin pup was recovered yesterday along a Mekong riverbank in Kratie’s Prek Prasap district. Mok Pon Lerk, deputy chief of the Provincial Fishery Administration, said local residents were surprised to find the 50-kilogram specimen, estimated to be 1 year old.

The World Wildlife Fund estimates a population of 80 individuals remain in the Kingdom. “We do not know the reason why this dolphin [is] dead . . . The body looks swollen” PonLerk said, adding that “the body [is being] kept to find out why the dolphin died”.

Sos Seng, the 40-year-old fisherman who found the remains, said he came across it while going about an ordinary day of fishing.
