    Can someone tell me the truth about Fungi? Are we just replacing him every couple of years with a new dolphin ? He is such a tourist attraction that I dont think Kerry will ever let him die.

    He must be like a serious OAP porpoise if he is genuine. But I have my suspicions..

    He was first spotted in 1983, bottlenose dolphins ( fungi' s species) have been known to live up to 48 years old. Then again it's Kerry I wouldn't past those cute hoors to replace him when the old one wears out. Huge tourist attraction.

    No. There was one hanging around Doolin there a couple years ago that assaulted a woman.

    If I'd have been in the water it would have got a punch in the face and known its place.

    Errr, the water is the dolphin's place.

    Reckon that was related to the local youths pouring beer in its blowhole?

    No he's still the same dolphin.
    He's due his millenial cheque off Michael D next year.

    Coincidence! I live in France and today someone in the area told me they were in Dingle and saw our wonderful dolphin. I told them that I too saw him, in 1993, and then they asked me if there was more than one and how long do they live. I had to get very sketchy.

    Because she has a ....

    Bottlenose dolphins live between 45 to 50 years.He was described as a mature when he first came on thescene in Dingle.


    That original dolphin is long dead.

    Something thing fishy going on here. I think he's codding you.

    Even if that's the case, you should stop being so crabby. It's about time that you were put in your plaice. We've had it up to the gills with you on here

    Wouldn't blame the dolphin, humans trying to get close, hanging off it and general arsing around. It's a wild animal FFS not an episode of Flipper.

    If people are dumb enough to try to swim with a Dolphin then they should expect consequences. A friendly poke could break your ribs, Dolphins play rough.

    But speaking of "pokes" a female needs to be careful at certain times of the month, if she is going to swim with a male Dolphin.

    Same dolphin, he has a distinctive scar on his dorsal fin from his younger days when he got too close to a propeller....but having said that, he's about 40 now....he's an OAP in dolphin terms

    Big fella, if that dolphin wanted to it could kill you.
    It was friendly until some dirtbags tried pouring beer in its blowhole, maybe they need the punch in the face

    Can a dolphin be charged for assault?
    You on the other hand for animal cruelty!!;)

    That dolphin had cider poured down its blowhole by ignorant scumbags. That same dolphin was constantly being grabbed and manhandled by stupid morons.

    People got what they deserved in the end.

    Wonderful dolphin lumbered with a stupid name.

    "Bottlenose dolphins live between 45 to 50 years.He was described as a mature when he first came on the scene in Dingle."

    True, as someone else said. Money gets in the way of telling the truth.

    The dolphins and bears would only end up fighting amongst themselves
