5 more dead dolphins
Scientists have now found a total of 19 dead baby dolphins along the Mississippi and Alabama Gulf Coast.
The latest discover was four dead baby dolphins on Horn Island off the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
The Sun Herald reports another was found on Ono Island off Orange Beach, Ala.
Scientists are scurrying to find a cause. Researchers took tissue samples from the dolphins.
Institute for Marine Mammal Studies director Dr. Moby Solangi says the cause could be anything, including the cold weather or a change in food habits. Scientists have not ruled out possible
effects from the BP oil spill.
Scientists said so far, four calves in January and 15 in February have been found dead along Mississippi and Alabama shores.
