A Wild Dolphin who Loves Children...

2009.08.30
you can see the video here if you don't believe me :))

the marina "moulin-blanc" in Brest...




he came to the people when he saw them...

one boy goes to swim with him...he is couragous! not for the dolphin but the water is cold :)



all the children wanted to touch him!!

he posed for the photographers!

it's a big marina...so very amazing to meet a dolphin there...



he even turned to be scratching his belly!

fantastic moment and very moving...


un dauphin sauvage est venu visiter le port de plaisance du "moulin-blanc" à Brest, les enfants présents ont revécu le grand bleu!


a wild dolphin who loves children ..!
incredible, true,amazing and wonderful, a wild dolphin came into the marina and it clearly sought the human presence and appreciated of being petted by children ... it was magical!

i don't think he was ill...or needed help to go back to the open sea, because when i was back there after the tomie walk, he was not there and all the people left too....
i've read on a newspaper that a dolpin is visiting all the harbourgs around, and he is well known he has even a name "jean Floch" ( a very commun name in Brittany)
may be this one was "jean Floch" :))

newspaper said too, not to touch him for he can be dangerous, (nobody can know how a wild animal can reacts), and to don't give him some virus...
but nobody resist to touch him and obviously he likes !!
if i get some news about him i will inform you :)
it was a very moving experiment for me...like to meet some ET, someone of another world coming to see humans, a great lesson of friedship!
(sorry for my english)

livelovelaugh Your shots are fabulous! How great that must have been! You were lucky to witness this. Is it unusual for dolphins to be there? :)
livelovelaugh · 2009-08-30: 19:35

eternity65 FANTASTIC set Tomie!!!!! I looooove dolphins, and if i was there, i'd sure would have gone in the water with him, even if it was the last thing i ever did. That's my biggest dream, to swim with them in the wild one day. You are so lucky to have seen this!! I really envy you now :-)
#4 into my fav's for sure

Unchained C'est un reportage fabuleux Tomie, surtout par la symbiose entre le dauphin et les enfants. Il y a quelques mois, on a vu un dauphin solitaire et sauvage au port de Porto pendent quelques jours et après il est disparu. Ça sera le même??

catdad That was a great post !! cd

Barb Beautiful moments between the dolphin and children. I can see in the childrens eyes this was an experience of a lifetime.
Although I would want to be touching and friendly with the dolphin too my first concern would be if this is good for the dolphin. In Florida it is a few thousand dollar fine to feed them and many other animals it is against the law. They become dependent on humans.
Still the photos you have are precious and very nice.
