Did you read these?

The first one constitutes biting....provoked sadly enough because they are stressed from not having enough food because the humans are taking all the cod. Have you not had a family dog growl and snap at you if you try to take his/her food away from him/her? Have you never seen a friend threaten another friend with a fork or other utensil when the friend is taking and eating his french fries? I think CJ and I were thinking of an attack like what the tiger did to those guys....killing one and seriously injuring the other two.

"Researchers who have been following the movements of the creatures in the Moray Firth have been shocked when the normally calm-natured animals have attacked their flesh. Prof Priede said: "The creatures have a reputation for being cute and cuddly, but they do have very sharp teeth that can cause damage.

"Researchers have reported several injuries where the creatures have bitten them. They are predators, and when they are hungry they will feast on what they can find. We also have discovered porpoises and other sea life which has been attacked by the sharp teeth of a dolphin in a fight."

Researchers at Aberdeen University also claim the bottlenose dolphins are abandoning their home in large numbers to fight starvation. It is thought a quarter of Scotland’s resident dolphins have left the Moray Firth and have been spotted as far south as England.


The dolphin did not see the boat and leapt into it, accidently injuring the woman. Chris, this is not even close to an attack.

"The dolphin apparently hadn't seen the boat as it leapt. A spokesman for Auckland Rescue Helicopters said: "I've never heard of a dolphin hitting someone on a boat. You can't even catch them on lures when you go game fishing. They're too smart."

Is this one a joke?

The dolphin tried to rape a 28-year-old Norwegian swimmer who had been gambolling with it off the south coast of Norway, the newspaper Verdens Gang reported Tuesday.

The animal, which had been circling around the swimmer, suddenly stuck its penis between his leg and his bathing costume before the man managed to free himself and escape back aboard his nearby boat.

"At first I thought it was pushing me with its flipper but dolphins don't have flippers beneath their bellies," the unidentified swimmer explained.

Another swimmer who witnessed the scene from the boat told the newspaper he had to ward off similar advances from the dolphin a few minutes earlier.

"He tried his luck with me but I was protected by my waterproof suit," that swimmer said.

Someone responded:
>I suppose we are to conclude from this incident that dolphins are gay!"
