Long-Armed Basketball Star Saves Hungry Dolphin
Dolphins' natural diets usually consist of fish, but one dolphin in China's Hangzhou Polar Ocean Park Zoo decided to try something new and exciting — a pool mat! We all know how dangerous it is when your pets eat something they shouldn't, and the same goes for sea life. After the popular dolphin stopped eating and seemed slow and sluggish, the staff at the Chinese zoo had an x-ray taken of the mammal's tummy and discovered that he had eaten a pool mat from one of his tanks!
Cute Alert: Pink Dolphins Exist!
For those of you still holding out for the existence of unicorns and winged fairies — there is hope after all! A pink dolphin (actually an albino) was spotted last year in a lake in Louisiana. Boatman Erik Rue found it and has been studying it ever since.

Is This the World's Ugliest Dolphin?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so I wanna hear it from you: do you think this bulbous-headed snub fin dolphin is properly called the "world's ugliest dolphin?" At first glance, it made me think of a victim of a Looney Tunes random act of violence where an animal gets somehow smushed up but still lives to go on. What do you think about the species?Awesome Tattoo of the Day
It only makes sense that these two hot pieces would hook up. I wonder what magical creature will come from this union.

The Scoop: Lucky Dolphin Gets World's First Artificial Fin
When Fuji, a 37-year-old dolphin, in Okinawa, Japan came down with a kind of necrosis (death of cells or tissues through disease), her future looked pretty bleak. In order to save her life, local doctors had to amputate 75 percent of her tail – but she got a brand-new $83,000 one instead. What's it made of?Hayden Made It to Obama After All!
I know I'm not the only one that was curious to follow what happened after we saw Hayden's Save the Whales Again! rally at Dupont Circle and her attempt to talk with Barack Obama at American University so when PetSugar reader, zoorph, sent me this pic, I couldn't resist sharing it with all of you! Lucky gal, she happens to be a graduate student at that school attending the event backstage – kudos for this great case of right-place-right-time and quick snapping!

Hayden Panettiere got fired up about whales in a rally at Washington, DC's Dupont Circle over the weekend.

Dolphin Loves Bubbles
I suggest that instead of Prozac, we all watch these cute dolphins cavorting with some kind of undersea ring of bubbles. This video is circulating on the Internet, but only GiggleSugar has this awesome soundtrack to go with it. Enjoy!
