------ Horny Dolphin Becomes Major Tourist Attraction ------
LONDON - Swimmers have been warned to stay away from a sex-
ually frustrated dolphin off a seaside resort after it tried
to lure unwary humans out to sea in a bid to mate with them.
"This dolphin gets very sexually aggressive. He has already
attempted to mate with some divers," U.S. marine expert Ric
O'Barry told a local paper. "When dolphins get sexually
excited, they try to isolate a swimmer, normally female.
They do this by circling around the individual and gradually
move them away from the beach." This is not encouraged, how-
ever, since adult dolphins, usually in the neighborhood of
400 pounds, could easily drown a human during foreplay.
Since his arrival, the dolphin has become a major attraction
for tourists.
