In the video posted by Cruz Rafael Vazquez via WhatsApp, you can see the moment people noticed a large fish moving in the water, which was already cloudy, as the dolphin swam with difficulty in the small space, what they decided to see. That was about it.

Cautiously, they entered the water and were able to spot the dolphin, so they decided to save her life by taking her in their arms and moving her to a place in the Portuguese River where they could swim in deeper water.

Local residents assure that this year the drought has come early in the Portuguese River, which starts to be seen every year in April, which has started to affect navigation in the municipality of Arismendi, as boat engines also get stuck on sandbars.
