Albino Baby Dolphin Captured

An albino baby dolphin was immediately singled out from the massive pod netted in last weeks dolphin drive at Taiji and taken into captivity. This baby, along with 3 others, are currently being held at the Taiji Whaling Museum. Whether they will remain there or will be sent elsewhere is yet to be determined. Animal activists are concerned for the albino's health since there is little (if any) shade provided over dolphin tanks, and the water is typically too shallow to filter sunlight and provide relief from the sun's rays. Albino animals are susceptible to sunburn and have very sensitive eyes that can be easily damaged by the bright light of the sun.
