Hong Kong on Sunday morning found on its local water, the dead body of another finless porpoise.
Police officers arrived at the scene after the call at 7:40 a.m. concerning a buoyant animal carcass on the water, around the Central Pier and they could take it out after efforts.
The Ocean Park Conservation Foundation team arrived on the scene as well and authenticated the animal's dead body as an Indo-Pacific finless porpoise which was 1.5 metres long. It was later taken away by the team for more findings and the autopsy.
This is not the first time the carcass of the finless porpoise has been found in Hong Kong, this year. In January, it was reported that a newborn finless porpoise carcass with its tail intertwined with fishing gear was found at Clearwater Bay Golf and Country Club. Also in March at Rocky Beach, a porpoise was found to have died from asphyxiation and drowning after becoming entangled.
香港當地水域發現江豚屍體
週日早上，香港在當地水域發現了一具江豚的屍體。
上午7點40分，警方接到報警後趕到現場，發現中環碼頭附近的水面上有一具漂浮的動物屍體，經過努力，可以將其打撈出來。
海洋公園保育基金會的工作人員也趕到現場，確認屍體為印度太平洋江豚，體長1.5米。 後來它被團隊帶走以進行更多調查和屍檢。
這並非今年香港首次發現江豚屍體。 今年一月，據報導，清水灣鄉村俱樂部發現了一具尾巴與漁具纏繞在一起的新生江豚屍體。 同樣是在三月份，在落基海灘，一隻鼠海豚被發現被纏住後因窒息和溺水而死亡。
