Springbok Rugby World Cup champion Percy Montgomery saved a dolphin calf stranded on a beach near Cape Town after several attempts on Saturday, Aug. 17, according to an eye witness.
Footage filmed and posted to Facebook by Doris van Niekerk shows Montgomery picking up the beached dolphin and returning it to the water in two separate attempts. The dolphin is seen successfully swimming away on the third attempt.
According to Whale and Dolphin Conservation, single strandings occur when the animal is old, sick, injured, and/or disoriented.
Montgomery held records for both caps and points as a rugby player, and is known for contributing to South Africa’s victory against England during the 2007 Rugby World Cup final.
