Dolphins are known for their gentle personality. But the celebrity dolphin, 'Dusty', one can see in Doolin Harbour, County Clare, Ireland is different. This female dolphin is well-known for her aggressive behaviour.

 Aggression

One day she was bathing next to a wall and stone steps of the harbour, with two swimmers nearby.

She soon turned sinister as she began to bash her tail on the surface of the water in a sign of anger and irritation, causing enormous splashes.

Suddenly the dolphin surged through the water and hit a woman, leaving her screaming in pain.

The unfortunate woman began shouting for help. She was dragged onto the steps by a bystander, but Dusty soon came back and menacingly raised her head out of the water before swimming away.

Dusty was first spotted in the waters as far back as 2000. At times she can seem friendly and welcoming of the attention, but she can quickly turn nasty. Lifeguards in the area are now putting our red flags whenever Dusty is spotted in the area and have asked tourists not to swim with the dolphin.
