Fungie sustains deep wound from propeller blade

Fungie the dolphin has sustained a deep blade cut, probably by the propeller of a visiting boat, with a deep cut going as far as the dorsal fin.

The cut on the famous Dingle Harbour dolphin was spotted yesterday.

The dolphin’s fan page on Facebook, “Fungie Forever”, says while Fungie lovers are “gutted”, followers should not panic. It says Fungie, after staying quiet and under the water for a while, re-emerged to jump and play.
