Dolphins Swim at the Nizuc Aquatic Park in Cancun |

| MEXICO: July 25, 2003 | ||
|
Dolphins swim in the Nizuc Aquatic Park in the Caribbean resort of Cancun, Mexico on July 22, 2003.

The park bought 28 South Pacific bottlenose dolphins from the anarchy-torn Solomon Islands and flew them to Mexico on a DC-10 jet early this morning. Environmentalists fear the dolphins could have suffered trauma from being uprooted from their natural habitat and also could potentially infect local Mexican dolphins with new diseases.
