Another dead dolphin was recovered in Bais City, Negros Oriental, following a mass stranding of the marine mammals in Sitio Pambutan, Barangay Canlargo over the weekend.
The dolphin was found late Sunday, Jan. 26, several hours after two others were found dead at a mangrove area, Col. Roland Desiree Lavisto, Bais City Police chief, said on Monday.
Lavisto said the authorities were no longer around at sundown when it was found by the residents. They buried it immediately, he added.
Three other dolphins in the same pod were treated for injuries but were immediately returned to the sea.
Lavisto said no more sightings of dolphins in Barangay Canlargo were monitored on Monday.*PNA
