Irrawaddy dolphin found dead on Koh Rong Samloem

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Irrawaddy dolphin found dead on Koh Rong Samloem

Post by Anchor Moy »

Posting this because I never knew the Irrawaddy dolphins could live in the ocean. They are found in estuaries, but I think it is unusual to find one so far out to sea ? Maybe it got lost ?

This dolphin was found dead yesterday, off Lazy Beach I think. The locals are going to do a Buddhist ceremony for it. RIP I guess.
