A Mekong river dolphin was found dead in Kratie province in Cambodian's north eastern part, a government official said Friday.
Touch Seang Tana, chairman of Cambodia's Commission for Conversation and Development of the Mekong River Dolphins Eco- tourism Zone, said the river dolphin believed at age of 27 was found dead on Thursday as it was netted in a laying fishing net in the stream.
He said the dolphin, male, was already old and it had swum out of the protected zone looking for foods and accidently spotted in the fishing net.
