Dolphin close up

Dolphins swim fast, so it took a lot of patience to get this picture at the Vancouver Aquarium.

The Aquarium acquires many of its large marine animals through rescue operations; sick, orphaned and injured mammals (often snared in nets) are brought to the facility.

The stated goal of the Marine Mammal Rescue Centre is eventual release back into the wild.

Unfortunately, that's not always possible.
