What age is Fungi the Dolphin

2ygb4cmqetsjhx

Was just thinking about Fungi there today. Saw him years ago. Seems he is outliving all his dolphin cousins by about 5 years. Is there something fishy going on down in dingle? What is the story with Fungi anyway?

Glad you asked!

In 1984, Paddy Ferriter, the Dingle Harbour lighthouse keeper, first began watching a lone wild dolphin escort the town's fishing boats to and from port. By August of that year, local Ministry of Marine manager Kevin Flannery was able to officially record the dolphin as a "permanent" resident of the entrance channel and self-appointed "pilot" of the fleet.

Two years later the continuous investigations of a couple of cetacea enthusiasts, Sheila Stokes and Brian Holmes, brought them to Dingle Pier and into conversation with the seamen who were still being entertained by the dolphin. Nine months of intensive aquatic contact later, the dolphin had decided to develop from a timid but inquisitive observer of the human visitors into a playful, though mischievous, companion.

It also soon became apparent that having become accustomed to them, all humans, particularly females, would be welcome. Now each and every person receives the same special preferential treatment, be they swimmers, divers, canoeists, windsurfers, or children paddling from the small adjacent beach.

During the summer months Fungie is often seen taking fish in the harbour mouth. On several occasions he has been observed catching a fish commonly known as a "Garfish", a species which had not previously been recorded as part of a dolphin's diet. During the winter months he must travel further a field for his nourishment.

I dunno, when I buy tuna that isn't dolphin friendly I barely notice the difference, can't be THAT far away from fish.

Off topic,

Was someone charged with molesting Fungi a few years back?

They were in a Dingy, got up close to him and tried fingering his blow hole?

Could be wrong though.

I was told once that the reason he stayed there on his own is because he's gay.

Honest to God, that is what I was told. I'm not trying to be funny here.
