Beware of a dolphin? Authorities are warning island visitors about this potentially aggressive animal. Here is what to do if you see it.
NORTH PADRE ISLAND, Texas -- The Texas Marine Mammal Stranding Network sent out a warning on Thursday regarding an aggressive dolphin in North Padre Island, Texas.Authorities said the dolphin is threatening human safety and the animal's life. Biologists reported the animal is showing aggressive behavior, separating children from their parents in the water and isolating swimming pets from their owners.
The dolphin has become so used to humans that it now seeks out people, boats, and any form of interaction, biologists said. The dolphin reportedly has wounds caused by boats. The best thing is to avoid stopping and slowly move away by maintaining your course and speed. Authorities suggest keeping your hands and feet inside the boat and not reaching over to try to touch or pet the dolphin.
