Dolphin with reconstructed tail dies

(ANSA) Brancaleone, August 21 - A dolphin whose tail was surgically reconstructed after being injured has died despite extensive efforts to save its life, marine biologists said Thursday.
    "Summer," as the dolphin was named, had been treated by biologists Stefania Giglio and Elena Madeo from a marine study centre in Calabria as well as by the veterinary service of the town of Locri and the Marine Recovery Centre at Brancaleone as well as an Environment Ministry team.
    Giglio and Madeo said the dolphin died from weakness following its injuries as well as due to an infestation of parasites.
