Two Mississippi dolphins rescued after Katrina

Wildlife experts on Thursday rescued two of eight bottlenose dolphins swept from their aquarium home into the Gulf of Mexico by Hurricane Katrina and said they hoped to recapture the others in the next few days.

Moby Solangi, president of the Marine Life Oceanarium in Gulfport, Mississippi, said the two rescued dolphins, 30-year-old Jackie and her 16-year-old offspring, Toni, had been taken to a hotel swimming pool.

The six others, including Jackie's 5-year-old son, Elijah, are still in the Gulf and will be rescued as soon as the U.S. Navy provides salt water tanks to house them, said Connie Barclay, spokeswoman for the fisheries division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
