The world's tallest man (pictured) -- who also has the longest arms -- saved the lives of two captive dolphins by reaching into their stomachs and extracting pieces of plastic they had eaten.
Mongolian herdsman Bao Xishun was called in after the dolphins swallowed plastic used around their pool at an aquarium in Fushun, north-east China.
Attempts to use instruments failed as the dolphins contracted their stomachs.

Isn't that a wonderful story! Whoever thought of asking Mr Bao deserves a medal for lateral thinking.

Looks like it's a good-news-bad-news day for dolphins. In another story posted 6 hours ago, scientists have decided after six weeks of fruitless searching that the Yangtze river dolphin (baiji) is "effectively extinct."
