Assault probe launched after dolphin attacked
Police in New Zealand are inquiring into reports that a boisterous teenage dolphin with a reputation for stealing surfboards and balls from swimmers has been attacked with a paddle after annoying a canoeist.
Named Moko, the solo bottlenose dolphin has spent the past three years swimming with people on North Island’s east coast, pushing them out to sea on surfboards, even leaving one woman stranded on a sea buoy when he stole her surfboard.
