'Something you see in a movie': Man saves baby dolphin in Adelaide

A man has saved a child dolphin by wading into the ocean, choosing it up and carrying it again out to sea in Adelaide‘s south.

Rescuer Brock McIntosh noticed the dolphin calf was in hassle so as a substitute of ready for animal rescue companies he saved the mammal himself at Moana Beach.

“My partner’s like you’ve got to do something so I ran down there and picked up this dolphin,” McIntosh mentioned.

“Another bloke there he was holding it and said we’re getting someone down here to help and I said ‘nah you’ve got to get it back out there’, so yeah just swam out there with the dolphin.”

He mentioned he adopted it for about 5 minutes.

“Eventually it ducked off out the back through a wave and went out to the ocean it was like something you see in a movie,” McIntosh mentioned.

“Drove home in my jocks so it was all good.”

The South Australian now has a brand new nickname.

”Oh yeah mate I’m the new dolphin whisperer, yeah daddy the dolphin whisperer.”

Photographer Roger Foster mentioned they often had a pod of dolphins on the seashore each morning, which he suspected the child dolphin was a part of.

“Hopefully he got back out to his mum again,” Foster mentioned.

There have not been any stories within the native space of the dolphin washing in once more.
