Dolphin Dies Being Passed Around For Selfies

A young dolphin has died after beachgoers took it from the sea to pose for photographs with it.Huge crowds gathered around the small animal on the beach resort at Santa Teresita in Argentina after one man picked it up.

But it appears it quickly overheated and died while out of the water.
It was still being passed around by the beachgoers after its death and was later left discarded in the sand.

The dolphin was from the La Plata - also known as the Franciscana - variety, found off the coasts of Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil.
It is considered a "vulnerable" species because there are only about 30,000 left in the world.
