This just don’t sound right. A big lake raised 9 degrees and hit 102 and boiled these dolphins.

Is there a volcano bout to blow or something else?
A lake in Brazil reached over 102 degrees Fahrenheit last week, and roughly 125 dead river dolphins have been recovered by researchers or have washed ashore.
- Lake Tefé in Brazil reached record high temperatures last week amid severe droughts in the area.
- The water in the lake reached over 102 degrees Fahrenheit, or nearly 39 degrees Celsius.
- Over 100 dolphins have been died, likely because of the heat, researchers say.
The main party leading the investigation of their deaths, the Mamirauá Institute for Sustainable Development, said that the water is about nine degrees higher than normal, according to the New York Times. Researchers at the institute are investigating multiple potential causes of the deaths, including diseases or pollution, but think the water temperature is the most probable cause, per the Times.
"You see the water covered with carcasses," said Dr. Miriam Marmontel, one of the institute's researchers, to the Times.
Marmontel also told the Times the lake turned into a kind of "soup" because of how hot the water became.
