Flipper is becoming whimsical.
As if the human-loving chimpanzee in Belgium wasn’t weird enough: British officials warn swimmers to stay away from a funny dolphin named Nick who acts loving to people.
“There’s a chance this dolphin could be loved and confused,” television naturalist Chris Packham told the Sun about the “sexually aggressive” mule nose, which was shot among beach lovers in Hayle Harbor, Cornwall. last week.
Nick was first seen last summer in the Isles of Scilly (the site of Wally the Walrus’ famous sinking bay last spring) and then in County Cork, Ireland. inform Metro.
The footage, shot by British Divers Marine Life Rescue and first posted on Facebook, shows the cheeky sea beast splashing water on excited swimmers and paddleboarders and performing tricks like an impromptu Sea World dolphin show.
Rescue organization area coordinator Dan Jarvis had captured the clip while responding to a report on the date of interspecies play.
“We got a call about a dolphin in the port of St Ives, which turned out to be the new social lone bottlenose dolphin that has been named Nick,” Jarvis explained. “He later showed up in Hayle Harbor and came in among a large group of people, mostly children, who were already in the water and started interacting with them with a lot of bustle.”
Rescuers finally decided to take Nick back to sea after he started throwing his tail at the landowners while a swimmer reported feeling “something pushing him from below,” Sun reported.
“After a while it became apparent that the dolphin’s behavior was increasing and becoming more erratic, so we were very worried that someone would get injured,” Jarvis explained of the “Water Shape” encounter.
Packham attributed Nick’s behavior to the fact that dolphins can become “sexually aggressive.”
“Dolphins play with interesting things in the water, and that can include people,” the conservationist said, adding that Nick was probably disoriented, as opposed to a lost human ending “in the middle of a herd of elephants “.
Katheryn Wise, of the World Animal Protection charity, added that lone dolphins can try to “create social bonds” by getting closer to humans.
“This behavior can be aggravated if the dolphin is increasingly accustomed to the presence of people,” he lamented. “It is recommended to keep a safe distance from the water.”

Apparently, dolphins are not the only aquatic critters that have heat for humans. Last month, a funny study postulated that sea snakes attack people because they are “very excited.”
