A rare dolphin died after people took it out of the ocean to take selfies with it
Sometimes it's better to just skip the selfie. In Santa Teresita, Argentina, beachgoers recently killed a small, Franciscana dolphin after picking it up and posing for photos with it until the animal died, Fusion reports. Franciscana dolphins are classified as a vulnerable species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, and there are only about 30,000 in the world.
Facebook user Hernan Coria posted pictures of the scene online. Since sharing them on February 10, the disturbing images have been shared over 2,000 times.
"Segundo delfín que aparece en el día en Santa Teresita una lastima no creo que vivan," Coria captioned the photos.
