A baby bull (bighead) is very popular with Thai people who have died from a serious infection that is caused by a blockage of plastic waste in the stomach.

At that time Mariam was hit by waves on shallow coastal waters. The image of a cute fish snuggled into the people who saved it then spread widely on social networks, loved by many people.

The reason why Thai people care about this sea cow is because only one week before the Mariam fish event, another sea cow was saved and loved by the Thai princess, named Jamil.

Thailand has even set up a website to show the pictures of how two mother cows of Mariam and Jamil are cared for in two separate isolation camps and how they are wrapped with people.

However, after midnight, on August 17, according to Mr. Chaiyapruk Werawong, leader of Thailand's provincial marine park, Mariam died despite the group of doctors trying to save it.

"The fish died of blood infection and festering in the stomach," said Chaiyapruk Werawong, who said they found a small amount of plastic waste in his gut.

Veterinary doctor Nantarika Chansue said on the Facebook account, the results of Mariam's autopsy after death showed that plastic garbage caused a blockage in the animal's stomach, leading to inflammation and gas stagnation.

"We can treat partial respiratory infections, but plastic waste is not treatable , " said Nantarika Chansue.

Sea cows are the latest victims among marine organisms in the context of their habitat being seriously threatened by plastic waste.

Both sea cows were found in southern Thailand, where about 250 sea cows live. Jamil is being taken care of in Phuket.

Mariam's death information was also published on the Oceanographic Facebook page and Thailand's coastal resources.

This information quickly received over 11,000 shares and thousands of comments shared the pity of everyone with Mariam.
