A sex-addicted dolphin stalks bathers in search of love (9 photos + 1 video)
Sexually Harassing Dolphin Suzu is terrorizing beaches in central Japan, attacking swimmers and divers. The bottlenose dolphin displays aggressive and lewd behavior when attempting to make physical contact with people.
According to reports, Suzu has repeatedly attacked beachgoers, pushing them, biting them, and even attempting to perform sexual acts. There have been more than 21 such attacks in 2022 alone, and 9 last year. One person even lost a fingertip as a result of Suzu's attack.
62-year-old diving instructor Yasuyuki Nakase was repeatedly molested by Suzu. He says: “When he tried to bite, I kept my arms straight so he couldn’t get a hold. He followed me, opening and closing his mouth near my face. It was scary. He kept pressing on my butt. It was very uncomfortable.”

Experts say there's a sad reason behind Suzu's obsession with humans
Local authorities are warning tourists about the dangers associated with this hooligan dolphin. Warning signs have been installed along the coast, urging people to get out of the water if they see Suzu.

Warning posters appear on Fukui Prefecture beaches
Jet skis are used to patrol the beaches, and if a dolphin approaches the shore, sound devices are used to emit unpleasant underwater sounds.

Vacationers warned about dangerous dolphin
Biologists are trying to understand what could have provoked such irrational behavior of Suzu. Professor Tadamichi Morisaka suggests that excessive communication with people in the past led to the dolphin becoming too attached to them: "People touched the dolphin and hugged it. Gradually, he got used to them and now approaches people."

Although Suzu looks sexually aroused, biologists believe that he most likely just wants to play, not mate.

Despite Suzu's numerous attacks, local authorities can do nothing about him, since killing dolphins is prohibited. Instructor Yasuyuki believes that Suzu should not be held accountable for his actions, since "it is not he who does evil. It is the people who came to his world. He is too used to people."
