Death of dolphin

Naval exercises may using a type of sonar may have caused the death
of a dolphin in San Nicolas island. The dolphins head revealed blood and other fluid in its ear that caused researchers to think the sonar had something to do with the death. The same symptoms were found in whales that washed ashore in the canary islands. A panel of experts is going to review the case.

The navy exercises are being blamed for these deaths. The navy in turn filed appeals to defend themselves. The U.S. 9th circuit circuit court of appeals promised to rule on the navy's latest appeal. The navy is stating that the experiments took place 62 miles away from where the dolphin washed ashore. If these are related, it would strange that only a couple of animals have been found.
