'Sexually frustrated' dolphin's advances spark swimming ban in France

A French village last week banned swimming after an overly playful dolphin reportedly tried to rub against humans and boats. The dolphin, called Zafar by locals, appears to be "sexually frustrated," The Telegraph reported.

The frisky dolphin has tried to block several swimmers from returning to land at the western seaside town of Landevennec, according to France's Le Telegramme, with one woman requiring a rescue boat to retrieve her. The bottlenose dolphin also has bumped up against boats and even flew over one kayaker, the newspaper reported.
