As the movie "Jaws" hits theaters again this summer, one dolphin in the sea of Japan is trying to make a name for himself.
According to The Mainichi, a single dolphin has been responsible for at least six attacks on humans this month in Japan.
A swimmer had 14 stitches after getting bitten on their hand. The dolphin lunged at the man as he tried to pry his arm out of the jaws. It's not clear how many dolphin attacks the feared dolphin is responsible for since that date.
Attacks on people wading far out into the ocean are not on the agenda. Most of them happened less than a mile from the shore.
The Mainichi reports that after the initial wave of dolphin attacks, the city of Fukui put underwater wave emitting devices to protect themselves. As of Tuesday, the dolphin had struck twice more in the face of those deterrents.
Contrary to what Spielberg's movie might have you believe, dolphin attacks on humans are very rare, and shark attacks on humans are also very rare.
A tourism department official told Agence France-Presse that dolphins don't like to be touched, like the tip of their nose and their fins.
dolphins can be cruel due to their high levels of intelligence They are some of the biggest assholes in the ocean, and they do a lot of gruesome things.
If you see a dolphin swimming in the water, treat it with the same respect and caution as any other wild animal.
