The National Agency for Protected Areas (NAPA) suggests that a dolphin visited the Adriatic Sea waters in Lalëz bay the last two days.
NAPA and the experts in Durrës, as soon as they were informed by the tourists about the dolphin, they were brought in contact with the experts who came to the aid. The dolphin was pregnant and wanted to find a place to give birth. Under the supervision of veterinarians, the experts performed a premature birth, as the baby had died in the abdomen.
"Our experts consulted with their counterparts in Greece, reaching this same conclusion. After the birth, the dolphin mother went quietly in the depth without coming back again. Based in this event, we ask citizens to immediately notify the relevant institutions in such cases and not try to find solutions themselves, as in these cases the required expertise is required. Wild animals are not a game for children or adults. Often, they approach populated areas and people for help," reads the NAPA announcement.
