Thanks for posting that! It was great to see so many people quick to help and really great to see the dolphins swim away.
Friends earlier this year working to try and save a baby whale in Bahia Asuncion.

Apparently single individuals like this are almost always diseased. They're coming to shore because swmming is becoming a struggle and they want to
get it over with.

This was not just one dolphin if you watch the video. It was approximately 30 all at once!

Yes, that phenomena is still not understood.
Apparently the record is something like 835 false killer whales in south africa.
They've been recorded since the time of Aristotle. The Puritans fed on such occurences. So, likely not due to man's activities. It's all in the
article.
