A swimmer who was assaulted by a dolphin that was sexually frustrated considers himself fortunate to have survived the encounter.

Recently, there have been reports of a dolphin causing chaos and distress in Fukui, Japan. This lone dolphin has been responsible for 15 attacks this summer, leaving the town in fear. One of the victims, Takuma Goto, was lucky enough to survive the encounter and shared his frightening experience.

Takuma and his friend were out for a swim when suddenly, the dolphin appeared and attacked his friend. Without hesitation, Takuma swam over to help, only to become the next target of the aggressive dolphin. This caught Takuma by surprise as dolphin attacks on humans are rare and he had a false sense of security. He recalls how the dolphin came straight at him and bit him, repeatedly attacking him and causing fear that he may be dragged under the water.

Fortunately, a surfer came to Takuma's rescue, while onlookers watched in horror from the beach. Once back on the shore, Takuma washed his wounds with water and was taken to the hospital. He suffered a gash on his finger that required five stitches, along with bite wounds on his wrist, forearm, hand, and upper arm. It was a terrifying experience that left him traumatized and never wanting to go back into the sea again.

Experts speculate that the male Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin may have been trying to communicate through biting, a common technique used by dolphins. This type of dolphin usually lives in groups, so it is believed that this one may be lonely and seeking social interaction from humans. It is possible that he has been rejected by his own community, hence the aggressive behavior towards humans.

To prevent further attacks, warning signs have been placed around the beaches to inform people about the dolphin. It is important to remember that dolphins are not normally known to attack humans and most people can swim with them without any harm. However, Takuma's encounter serves as a reminder that we must always be cautious and respectful towards wild animals in their natural habitat.
