The dolphins are "raging", why some of them are becoming aggressive

On a Japanese beach, a series of attacks by dolphins has recently started. According to local media, at least one man was taken to hospital a few days ago and two more swimmers were bitten on the arms the next day. Japanese officials believe the same dolphin is responsible for at least six attacks so far. Although dolphins are not usually aggressive towards humans, hostility towards swimmers is not unheard of. Local media reported that a man was bitten on both arms on Thursday morning, August 11.

This was followed by another attack the same afternoon on a second man who suffered injuries to the fingers of his left hand. Both incidents took place at Koshino Beach, a popular destination for swimmers and dolphins near the western Japanese city of Fukui. Officials have already installed high-noise devices, hoping to deter dolphins from the area. Swimmers have also been warned about the dangers posed by the wild creatures.

Aktualisht nuk është e qartë se çfarë lloj delfini ishte përfshirë në sulm. Sipas mediave lokale, delfinët në zonë janë mësuar me ndërveprimin njerëzor dhe janë parë në pjesë jashtëzakonisht të cekëta të plazhit duke përfshirë ujërat deri në gjunjë. Në mbarë botën, sulmet e delfinëve janë të rralla, por jo të padëgjuara. Shkencëtarët kanë sugjeruar se delfinët e egër me hundë “shishe” e shohin notin përkrah njerëzve “tepër stresues”, sepse kjo “prish rutinat e tyre të sjelljes”.

In Ireland two women were injured in the space of ten days in 2013 by the same dolphin. A year later, five swimmers were rescued off the coast of Ireland after a dolphin aggressively surrounded them. In addition to hostility towards humans, dolphins sometimes behave extremely violently towards other sea creatures. We recall that on the shores of Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey and Ukraine, a large number of sea mammals have been washed up with burns similar to the wounds caused by bomb explosions.
