FROM MIRROR ONLINE - A baby dolphin has died after sunbathers reportedly pulled it from the sea and posed for selfies with it on a packed tourist beach.
The small female, still of breastfeeding age, lost its mother and became stranded in shallow waters off the coast of southern Spain.
Holidaymakers allegedly took it out of the water, before stroking it and passing it round for pictures on the beach in Mojacar last week.
Children were seen accidentally covering the creature's blowhole as they joined the crowds gathering around to photograph and touch it.
Marine conservationists raced to the scene at the seaside resort in Almería province, which is popular with British ex-pats and tourists.
