Bao Xishun, the world's tallest man, rescued two dolphins in China using his long arm to dig deep into their stomachs and pull dangerous plastic pieces out.

Bao, from Inner Mongolia, was called after two dolphins swallowed plastic used around their tanks in Phu Thuan (Liaoning province). Attempts by veterinarians to take plastic fragments failed. Two fish become difficult to eat and suffer from depression. Therefore, people were forced to rely on Bao.

The heads of the two dolphins were held tightly and the towels wrapped around their teeth so that Mr. Bao was not bitten by them. Then he stretched his 1.06 meter arm into the dolphin's stomach. He succeeded, and the fish were in very good health.

Dr. Zhu Xiaoling said: ' Some very small pieces of plastic still remain in the dolphin's stomach. However, they will be able to digest these things and are expected to recover quickly. '

Last year, Bao was recognized by the Guinness World Records as the tallest living man in the world. He overcame the previous record holder, Radhouane Charbib, with 2 mm.
