Not Sharks – Horny Dolphins!
Dolphin luring swimmers off for sex

LONDON (Reuters) - Swimmers have been warned to stay away from a sexually frustrated dolphin off a seaside resort after it tried to lure unwary humans out to sea in a bid to mate with them.

The Times newspaper said on Tuesday that the bottlenose dolphin, nicknamed Georges, had arrived off Weymouth, Dorset, about two months ago after following a trawler across the Channel.

"This dolphin does get very sexually aggressive. He has already attempted to mate with some divers," U.S. marine mammal expert Ric O'Barry told the paper.

"When dolphins get sexually excited, they try to isolate a swimmer, normally female. They do this by circling around the individual and gradually move them away from the beach, boat or crowd of people."

O'Barry said the dolphin, which weighs an estimated 400 lbs (180 kg), would get very excited and rough and try to mate with the swimmer, possibly causing them to drown.
The dolphin also has a fascination for boat propellers and has been injured several times. But it has resisted attempts to move to less-populated waters, the paper said.

Since his arrival at Weymouth, Georges has become a major attraction at the seaside resort with thousands of people taking to the sea in boats to watch him play.

Violin clearly posted a link, but some of us are a little leary of clicking on Violin's links, don't ya know!

Man, I wouldn't want to be a mother having to explain to her pre-teens why they can't go swimming around this particular dolphin! Maybe a tinfoil cap would help "Georges".

I probably shouldn't do this on line, but I feel safe with all of you.
I just wanted to say that my experience was positive. My Dolphin was gentle and very attentive to my needs. He didn't just roll over and go to sleep afterwards, and he said all the right words to assure me that he would still be there the next day.
Just trying to counter all the Dolphpo-phobes on this site....

You can right-click on the link and look under 'properties' to see the URL to the link.

there was a story many many moons ago about a male dolphin killing himself at a research facility. Seems the dolphin kept trying to mate with one particular female researcher. When the tech stopped entering the dolphins tank he repeatedly bashed it's head into the side of the tank.

There was more to it than that but it's all I can remember clearly.

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most;-)
