NWR-World's Tallest Man saves dolphins!!
Did anyone else see this?? This is so crazy!! But great that he could help!!!
The long arms of the world's tallest man reached in and saved two dolphins by pulling out plastic from their stomachs, state media and an aquarium official said Thursday.
The dolphins got sick after nibbling on plastic from the edge of their pool at an aquarium in Liaoning province. Attempts to use surgical instruments to remove the plastic failed because the dolphins' stomachs contracted in response to the instruments, the China Daily newspaper reported.
Veterinarians then decided to ask for help from Bao Xishun, a 7-foot-9 herdsman from Inner Mongolia with 41.7-inch arms, state media said.
Bao, 54, was confirmed last year by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's tallest living man.
Chen Lujun, the manager of the Royal Jidi Ocean World aquarium, told The Associated Press that the shape of the dolphins' stomachs made it difficult to push an instrument very far in without hurting the animals. People with shorter arms could not reach the plastic, he said.

Re: NWR-World's Tallest Man saves dolphins!!
Whoa!
But if the stomach's contracted when surgical instruments were inserted, why wouldn't they have the same reaction to a human arm?

Re: NWR-World's Tallest Man saves dolphins!!
I wondered about that too! I guess maybe since his arm might be bigger and wider it didn't????

The long THIRD ARM of PRINCE HARRY reached in and saved two dolphins by pulling out VIC'S HOLIDAY BALLS from their stomachs, state media and an aquarium official said Thursday.
The dolphins got sick after nibbling on plastic DILL DOES from the edge of their pool at an aquarium in NWR. Attempts to use BOXES to remove the BALLS failed because BOXES DON'T WORK LIKE THAT. THEY'RE VAGIINAS., the China Daily newspaper reported.
VEGETARIANS then decided to ask for help from LAURIE, a 7-foot-9 herdsWOman from Inner Mongolia with 41.7-inch arms, state media said.
LAURIE, 69, was confirmed last year by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's tallest living WOman.
BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK, SO THEY CALLED HARRY.
JESSICA, the manager of the Royal JEdi Ocean World aquarium, (SHE LOVES FISH) told The Associated Press that the shape of the dolphins' stomachs made it difficult to push an instrument very far in without hurting the animals.
 
People with shorter arms could not reach the plastic, he said.

No capes! Do you remember Thunderhead? Tall, storm powers? Nice man, good with kids. November 15th of '58! All was well, another day saved, when? his cape snagged on a missile fin!
