World's tallest man saves dolphin The world's tallest man has saved two dolphins by using his long arms to reach into their stomachs and pull out dangerous plastic shards. Mongolian herdsman Bao Xishun was called in after the dolphins swallowed plastic used around their pool at an aquarium in Fushun, north-east China. Attempts to use instruments failed as the dolphins contracted their stomachs. Guinness World Records list Mr Bao, 54, as the world's tallest living man at 2.36m (7ft 8.95in). Recovering Veterinarians turned to Mr Bao after attempts to extract the plastic shards at the aquarium in Fushun, Liaoning Province, had failed. Mr Bao was called in after surgical instruments failed The mammals had lost their appetite and were suffering depression, aquarium officials said. The heads of the dolphins were held back and towels wrapped around their teeth so Mr Bao could not be bitten. He then extended his 1.06m-long arm into the mammals' stomachs. Chen Lujun, manager of Royal Jidi Ocean World, said Mr Bao was successful and the dolphins were "in very good condition now". Local doctor Zhu Xiaoling told the state media agency Xinhua: "Some very small plastic pieces are still left in the dolphins' stomachs. "However the dolphins will be able to digest these and are expected to recover soon." Mr Bao was confirmed as the world's tallest living man by Guinness World Records last year. He overtook the previous holder, Radhouane Charbib of Tunisia, by just 2mm. Guinness World Records say Mr Bao was of normal height until 16 but then put on a spurt that doctors were unable to explain, reaching his full height in seven years.

| Coolness: 51055 | well, human stomachs are, but the concentration isnt enough to cause immediate corrosive damage if you were to plunge your hand into it. its only about 0.15M.
dolphins have 3 stomachs, and in this case it was surely the 1st stomach that the guy had to reach into. there is almost no chemical digestion that takes place in the 1st stomach, so he would have been ok. |

 Coolness: 339750 | Why did they use him though? Why not just use a small camera and a metal arm..
this story seems like it was made up for some reason. |

| Coolness: 339750 | What could a dudes long arm possibly do better than a thin surgical rod with pincers on the end?
Just seems weird is all. |

 Coolness: 92350 | The thing I find funniest about this is that the worlds tallest man is actually an asian. Who woulda thought.
Maybe they couldn't get the plastic pieces out with pincers because they couldn't feel where the plastic was with the pincers? Meh, I dunno, I think hands would be better at doing the job than pincers, it would be tricky to pick up a bunch of little plastic shards with a long metal pincer thingy. Mise À Jour » moondancer a écrit sur Fri 15 Dec, 2006 @ 1:35pm I mean.. wouldnt the peices just move around and scrape stuff if you couldnt feel it and grab it with 5 fingers? Or scrape his tummy opening while trying to take them out because you cant wrap 2 metal fingers around it to protect it. |
