The long arms of the world's tallest man reached in and saved two dolphins by pulling out plastic from their stomachs, according to government media and an aquarium official Thursday.
The dolphins fell ill after nibbling on plastic from the edge of their pool at an aquarium in Liaoning province. Attempts to use surgical instruments to remove the plastic failed because the dolphins' stomachs contracted in response to the instruments, the China Daily newspaper said.
Veterinarians then decided to ask for help from Bao Xishun, a 7-foot-9 herdsman from Inner Mongolia with 41.7-inch arms, government media said.
"When we failed to get the objects out we sought the help of Bao Xishun from Inner Mongolia, and he did it successfully," Chen said. "The two dolphins are in very good condition now."
