- Stranded dolphin recovering in Subic Bay marine parkEmpeño, Henry (Philippine Business Daily Mirror Publishing, Inc., 2024-02-28)A male rough-toothed dolphin that got stranded several times in Pangasinan province last week is now recuperating here at the Ocean Adventure theme park’s dolphin rehabilitation facility. Robert Gonzaga, president and CEO of Subic Bay Marine Exploratorium Inc., the parent firm of Ocean Adventure, said “Hart” was brought here last Tuesday, February 20, and is now getting the best attention possible by Ocean Adventure’s animal care team. “Hart is receiving tailored treatment, including antibiotics, liver support, electrolytes, and supplements to address various health concerns,” Gonzaga said. “Additionally, physical therapy has been initiated to alleviate the mild scoliosis observed in Hart’s peduncle,” he added.
- Whale won’t leave coast, dies while being treatedSotelo, Yolanda (Philippine Daily Inquirer, Inc., 2016-10-07)Fishermen found the 2-meter long whale beached along Dasol Bay on Sept. 23 and brought it back to the sea. But it was sighted again in the afternoon on the same day so village officials decided to bring it to the BFAR facility in Alaminos City. Samantha Licudine, a BFAR veterinarian, said the whale had many scratches in the body and had a deep cut near its snout. “Maybe it was trying to escape from something so there was a laceration,” she said. The whale was given intensive medication and was under observation when it died.
