日前在美國南加州,一個風和日麗的早上,女子Chrissie Frickman與丈夫及兩名仔女,在放暑假的第一日,乘坐遊艇出海暢遊,遇到一群海豚在他們的船邊暢泳,豈料其中一隻海豚突然躍起,跳進了他們的船中,更猛力撞向 Chrissie,令她雙腳的足踝斷裂。

How did that happen? A dolphin jumped aboard the Frickman family's boat in southern California on June 21, splattering blood everywhere when it cut its tail

Chrissie被350磅重的海豚壓傷後,隨即痛苦尖叫,幸好其丈夫夠力把那頭海豚搬開,再通知當局把船隻駛回岸邊。雖然Chrissie受重傷,但海豚傷勢都不輕,牠在船上不斷噴血,把艇仔染紅,Chrissie的丈夫盡力向海豚灑水為他吊命,到埋岸後,他再與幾個人合力把海豚推回水中,他表示海豚游走時看似身體沒太大問題。

而醫生預料,太太要養傷數個月才能康復,但她表示只有自己受傷已是不幸中之大幸:「幸好只是我,我很怕小孩子會受傷害。」

而海上巡邏員亦表示,很少聽到海豚會跳上船,估計可能水中有些東西嚇到牠跳了上來,但幸好海豚在沒有水的環境下,仍可生存多數小時。

Unexpected guest: The Frickman family had been on their way back to the harbor when they came across a pod of dolphins and one of them jumped aboard

雖然海豚血染小艇。

Blood spattered: Dirk Frickman was able to release the dolphin back into the water by trying a rope around its body to lift it out of the boat 

但眾人合力把海豚推回海中,牠仍能自如地暢泳。

Catch and release: Back at the dock, a group of men worked to release the dolphin back into the ocean
