Two dead Indian Ocean Bottlenose dolphins are seen during high tide on the shore of the north west Kendwa and Mkokotoni beaches of Tanzania's Zanzibar island April 28, 2006. Scientists worked Saturday to determine why hundreds of dolphins were stranded in shallow waters and later washed up dead along the shore of a popular tourists destination in Zanzibar's northern coast. Villagers and fishermen buried the remains of some 400 bottleneck dolphins - which live in deep offshore waters - whose carcasses washed up on Friday along a 4-kilometer (2.5-mile) stretch between Kendwa and Nungwi.
