A Dolphin That Has Been Biting People May Just Be Friendly
Briefly

"We've seen that this dolphin randomly shows up at a beach, bites if there are people around, wanders off and repeats. To me, he's seeking some kind of interaction with people."
"Gentle biting is a behaviour that we see often among male bottlenose dolphins in the wild. In this dolphin's mind, he might have already built a friendly relationship with humans."
"If he really wanted to attack, he could have come tackling at full force and chomped down. But he's keeping the biting gentle for dolphin standards, so it's probably a friendly gesture rather than a full-on attempt to attack."
