The long arms of Mongolian herdsman Bao Xishun—who, at 7', 8.95", was the tallest man in the world in 2006—saved the day when a pair of dolphins were found to have swallowed plastic shards that could not be extracted from their stomachs using standard instruments. Bao's unusually long arm proved a more effective tool and saved the lives of both creatures.
