Let's not forget about our animal friends who were affected by Hurricane Katrina. Seems that there are 8 Dolphins at large in the Gulf of Mexico, and they are looking for a ride back home to Gulfport, MS.

The dolphins were spotted while swimming near the Port of Gulfport on
Saturday by scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
conducting an aerial survey to assess hurricane damages to natural resources,
the agency said.

What I want to know is, how can they be sure that these are the missing ones?

"Once we realized the dolphins had been swept out to sea during the
hurricane, we feared that they had died," Solangi said. "We are just thrilled
that they have stayed together during the past couple of weeks."

Ah, so that's it. Somewhere along the way the little guys were taught that should they ever get lost they should be sure to stay together.

"Some of the dolphins are trained so they're trying to get those dolphins
to swim up onto mats," she said. "If that is not successful, they may have to
use a net."

I just hope they don't try to entice them with candy. Bet they know better than to take candy from strangers.
