Speedo Sunday

Fla. Dolphin Freed From Speedo



A bottle-nosed dolphin caught in a life-threatening extra large Speedo bathing suit off the coast of Sarasota, Fla., was found and the clothing was safely removed, according to Local 6 News.

Back in June, Marine biologist in Sarasota spotted the dolphin named Scrappy swimming around with the Speedo wrapped around his torso.

Biologist thought the swimwear would just slip off, but the Speedo was too tight.



Biologists were able to remove the swimwear from dolphin but it suffered severe cuts on his flipper.

"Yes, it was cutting through both sides, and if we had not removed it, it would continue to cut through and it would eventually kill the animal," Director of Mote Marine Randall Wells said.

"I want know whose Speedo's those are," a resident said. "That person needs to come forward".
