The famous dolphin dolphin died

The body of the dolphin is often called the 'beggar' (Beggar) because of the habit of approaching the ships to ask for the newly found food. The cause of death may be due to a poor diet.

Beggar's body was found floating in the water near the Albee Road Bridge in Sarasota, Florida (USA) in a state of decay, making it difficult to identify the cause of death.

However, the digestive organ of the poor dolphin contains some fishing hooks, squid (not the favorite food of dolphins in this region) and has many ulcers. That shows that humans can be the cause of Beggar's death.

The body of Beggar was found on September 21

According to the Mote Marine Laboratory, during the past 20 years, Beggar often swims around the area where its body was found. Beggar often approaches boats for food.

During 100 hours of observation in 2011, researchers at the Sarasota Dolphin Research Program saw Beggar interact with humans 3,600 times. Humans for Beggar eat 169 times, with 520 foods, including beer and sausages. In 121 times, the boatman wanted to caress Beggar, but often bitten by it.

For years, Beggar appeared on the poster propagating that the act of feeding marine animals is illegal. Beggar's actions can also cause other natural dolphins to imitate.

The Marine Mammal Protection Act does not allow people to feed dolphins naturally to eat or caress them. Violators can be fined up to $ 100,000 and imprisoned for 1 year.

Examining Beggar's body, the scientists discovered that it had been hit by many ships because there were many scars on the skin and fins, and some ribs and vertebrae were broken.

Beggar did not eat much before he died. It is dehydrated, probably due to inappropriate diet. Scientists also found the prongs of stingray sting on Beggar's body.

'The things we find tell us that their health is very bad for a long time, and that communication with people plays a role. The wounds caused by stabbing boats, fish hooks and ink spouts (often used as bait) suggest that it spends more time asking for food from humans than going on its own " , Gretchen Lovewell, program manager The investigation of the Mote Laboratory, said.
