Sept. 17 (UPI) -- Coastguard crews responded to an estuary on a report of a possible dolphin stranded in shallow waters -- but arrived to find the wandering creature was actually a 10-foot tuna.
The Exmouth Coastguard Rescue Team said a crew responded to the King George V recreation ground alongside the Beer Coastguard Rescue Team and personnel from the British Divers Marine Life Rescue after a suspected dolphin was spotted close to shore in an area of the Exmouth Estuary known locally as the "Duckpond."
