World's tallest man saves choking dolphins

BEIJING — The long arms of the world's tallest man saved two dolphins in northeast China by reaching inside of them to remove plastic they had swallowed, state media reported Thursday.

The dolphins at an aquarium in Fushun, Liaoning Province, had fallen sick after swallowing the plastic from the edge of their pool, and attempts to use surgical instruments to remove the plastic failed because of the contraction of the dolphins' stomachs in response to the instruments, the China Daily newspaper reported.

Veterinarians then decided to ask for help from Bao Xishun, a 2.3-metre (7-foot-8) herdsman from Inner Mongolia.

Bao, 54, was confirmed last year by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's tallest living man.

The official Xinhua news agency said Bao was able to reach deep enough into the dolphins to pull out the plastic.

Photographs showed the jaws of one of the dolphins being held back by towels so Bao could reach inside the animal without being bitten.

"Some very small plastic pieces are still left in the dolphins' stomachs," Zhu Xiaoling, a local doctor, told Xinhua. "However the dolphins will be able to digest these and are expected to recover soon."

Chen Lujun, the manager of aquarium called the Royal Jidi Ocean World, confirmed the report to The Associated Press.

"When we failed to get the objects out we sought the help of Bao Xishun from Inner Mongolia and he did it successfully yesterday. The two dolphins are in very good condition now."

Human anomalies are not ethnic specific. Look at downs syndrome. No matter the ethnic background... they all are the same, minus skin tone. How could acromegaly be any different?

I was being facetious.

Were you expecting the tallest person to be black or white or something? The comment you made was just plain dumb and could easily be interpreted as racist.

So was kramer.

As an interesting side note, the world's tallest woman is also from that region.

Anything is open to interpretation.

You would be wrong, though.

Exactly. There is a difference between pointing out an irony (being as, people of Asian descent are typically considered to be shorter in stature), and being racist. If I would have said "OMG LOL TALL CHINK" it would have been a little different.

Racism is dumb. Bigotry is dumb. I know where I stand.

It's not like he said something negative about a race.

No they are not. Those are stereotypes. Racisim is the belief that a particular race is inferior.

I've always actually been quite fascinated with Asian culture.

"Asian culture" is soooo vague considering that Asia comprises of so many countries, each with a unique culture of its own.
