An Irrawaddy dolphin calf—sick and too weak to swim—was drowning in a tidal pool on Thailand’s shore when fishermen found him.

They quickly alerted marine conservationists, who advised them on how to provide emergency care until a rescue team could transport the calf to Thailand’s Marine and Coastal Resources Research and Development Center for veterinary attention.
