Dolphins in Japan are looking for a ‘mate’ and are attacking people in the sea

Sexually frustrated dolphin in Japan: An animal is attacking people on the beaches of Japan. Experts believe that it is a dolphin, which is looking for a partner in the sea. Experts claim that it is looking for a partner with whom it can form a relationship. It is a lonely and sexually frustrated dolphin, which is attacking people. Since 2022, more than 45 people have been injured in dolphin attacks in Wakasa Bay, about 200 miles (320 km) west of Tokyo, with most of the recent incidents occurring near the towns of Echizen and Mihama. According to the BBC, recently a boy was also attacked by this dolphin, due to which 20 stitches had to be put on his fingers.

Posters were put up to alert people
Professor Tadamichi Morisaka of Japan said that it is reasonable to assume that this is the same dolphin, because the wounds on the tail fin are similar to those of the dolphin seen on the coast last year. Dolphins usually move in groups, but it is rare for it to remain alone for so long. Another expert has also suggested that this dolphin may be behind all these attacks. It has chased and injured many humans. Now large posters have been put up on the beach in Fukui province to alert people.

This can also be a big reason
Experts said that like humans, hormonal fluctuations, sexual frustration or a desire to dominate can lead dolphins to injure themselves. Dr. Simon Allen, a biologist at the Shark Bay Dolphin Research Project, speculated that the dolphin may have been isolated by its community, or it may be looking for a mate. Another expert said that I think this could be a defensive behavior. The dolphin may be reacting to the arrival of people. Such incidents have happened before.
