“At least one of two rare La Plata dolphins died after beachgoers in Argentina took them ashore to snap some selfies.
The dolphin died from dehydration after people passed it around so they could take pictures with it.
La Plata dolphins are considered vulnerable, and their population is in decline, although exact numbers remain unclear. Although they are one of the world’s smallest species of dolphins, they can live to be 20 years old and are highly intelligent.”
