Chinese Doctors Successfully Operated on an Afflicted White Whale

Tina is a 5-year-old, 500-kilogram female white whale which was imported from Russia in 2004 to Qingdao Polar Ocean World in the coastal city Qingdao of East China's Shandong Province. It suffered from pus-filled lumps on her left abdomen and ulcerations on her right tail fins for more than a month. Not until January 19, doctors from Qiangdao City Hospital in collaboration with keepers of the marine theme park successfully removed the ulcerated area during a five-hour-long surgery, which is the first of its kind operation in China.
