French beach town bans swimming because of a very horny dolphin
Zafar the dolphin just wanted to find love. And maybe a quick hook up.
The sexually frustrated dolphin has been wreaking havoc in Landévennec, Brittany, a seaside town in the north of France. The town had to ban swimming because the dolphin, who locals nicknamed Zafar, wouldn’t stop rubbing up on boats and innocent beachgoers. According to the Telegraph, Zafar even “used its nose to push one woman out of the water and up into the air.”
The playful dolphin used to delight locals and tourists alike by cruising alongside boats and letting swimmers hold onto his dorsal fin for a ride.
“But then a few weeks ago he changed,” the Telegraph reports.
