KUCHING: A 1.3-metre long dolphin was found stranded on the beach at Kampung Trombol, Telaga Ai around 1.30pm today.

It is believed that the dolphin is from the Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin species, which lives in the waters around India, northern Australia, South China, the Red Sea, and the eastern coast of Africa.
The operation ended at 3.10pm.
