The dolphin which died when it was transported from the Philippines to Resorts World Sentosa’s Marine Life Park on Nov 22 “succumbed to an acute bacterial infection”, the resort said in a blog post yesterday.
Revealing the findings of a final pathology report, the resort said no evidence could be found to pinpoint the source of the infection.
Thorough medical examinations done before the dolphin, called Wen Wen, and others were transported showed that they were all healthy.
Wen Wen, a male dolphin about 10 years old, was one of 11 Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins flown from Subic Bay in a three-hour flight.
