    R na Gaeltachta caused panic a few years back for April Fool's day -announced he had gone over to Valentia island to live!!He doesn't jump as high if the boats have been busy in and out, best time to see him really jump is early morning, you can walk out on the path past the Skellig hotel. He is usually to be seen there, just over the hillock at Hussey's folly.

    The original fungi was killed in a boating accident. That's what happens when we swim in front of large vessels. Last I heard, fungi was on his 6th reincarnation.

    I use to work for the Fungi boats and I've heard all the theories about him like nets at the mouth of the harbour, robotic dolphins etc. My favourite one I like to tell people when the ask about him is that we buy a new one off the fleets that supply seaworld every few years.

    And just for those who ponder about Fungi's sexuality, he is not gay, though Dolphins are known to indulge in bisexuality, he frequently has female visits. The theory for why he has remained on his own for so long is that he is a release from a dolphinarium, which began to close all over the UK in the 80's, thus he had no pod and was used to the company of humans. Dingle, a busy harbour with lots of humans and food, was a perfect place to live.

    Bottlenose dolphins in captivity have been known to live up to 60 years, and it is estimated that Fungi is in his late 30's/ early 40's, so hopefully he'll have a few more years :)
