These are a touching series of pictures about a baby dolphin, probably just ten days old, which has been found by tourists on a beach near  Montevideo, Uruguay.




It was suffering from injuries believed to have been caused by a fishing net but now is recovering thanks to Richard Tesore, head of the NGO Rescate Fauna Marina,  Piriapolis, who is taking care of him.



When it was found there was no sign of the mother, it was tangled in a net and it had bites that suggest the mother and other dolphins might have tried to help him free.



Mr. Tesore, however is not the only one that seems to be interested in the baby Dolphin: a Magellan penguin is also being looked after at the centre and has taken an interest in the new patient!
