Cold may have killed dolphins

MOBILE, Ala. - Cold water may have killed dolphins washing ashore in Mississippi and Alabama, according to scientists with the Dauphin Island Sea Lab. They point to an apparent correlation between large pulses of chilly water that flowed into Mobile Bay during January and February and the subsequent discovery of dozens of stillborn dolphin calves in area waters. So far, 46 dolphins, mostly calves, have been found. (Source: Mobile Press-Register, 03/03/11)
