事实上，据认为这是有史以来在水族馆展出的第二只白化变种海豚，这只海豚是从渔民那里买来的。

And they may well have been doing the animal a favour, as albinos are easy prey out at sea as they lack the colouration to blend in like their grey coloured relatives.

渔民们把这只海豚卖到水族馆可能倒是帮了它一个大忙，因为这只海豚在海上很容易被捕猎者发现，因为它不能像它灰色的同胞一样混迹于大海中。

 

 

Experts said that it was remarkable that the animal had actually lived so long before ending up at the Taiji Whale Museum, in Higashimuro District, in southern Japan's Wakayama Prefecture.

专家表示，这只海豚到太地町鲸鱼博物馆定居之前，能存活这么长时间已经很令人惊奇。太地町鲸鱼博物馆位于日本和歌山县南部的东牟娄郡。

Controversially, the creature was captured during the annual dolphin hunt in the town of Taiji.

这只海豚是在太地町一年一度的海豚捕猎期间捕获的，这一点颇具争议性。

The town and the hunt was made notorious by the 2009 Oscar-winning documentary "The Cove," which shows fishermen herding dolphins into a cove either to be captured for aquariums or killed for meat.

2009年奥斯卡获奖纪录片《海豚湾》致使太地町的捕猎活动臭名昭著。纪录片中展示了渔民们的捕猎活动，他们在一个小海湾里围捕海豚，要么把它们抓起来送进水族馆，要么就杀掉吃肉。
