TIL In 1978, a bolt got lodged in a bottlenose dolphin’s (named Mr. Spock) throat during tank maintenance. With surgery ruled out as too dangerous, Northen CA theme park, Marine World, reached out to the Golden State Warriors 6’9″ center, Clifford Ray, to use his long arm to retrieve the bolt.

The 70’s were just different. No one would do that now, and it sucks when you know Loon is home right now wishing he could save a dolphin.
What the fuck lol
Such a great story – I’ve read this before but it is really for the ages. Marine World.
Wemby and Chet would be perfect for this job today.
