Weibo microbloggers today launched a campaign to find persons with long arms to extract a volley ball from the stomach of a dolphin in an aquarium in Nanjing, the capital of Jiangsu Province.
The dolphin, Jiangbo, swallowed the broken ball during a performance. Since surgery can cause more harm to the dolphin, the aquarium is calling on people with arms longer than 1.1 meters to help retrieve the ball from its stomach.
The Nanjing aquarium introduced four dolphins from Japan, including a pair that came after the March 11 earthquake and tsunami in northeastern Japan last year.
Many microbloggers are urging Chinese basketball players to offer a "helping hand." A Jiangsu Basketball Club player, Meng Da, had already tried but his arms are still not long enough to reach the dolphin's stomach.
