Dolphins are known to be such friendly creatures. They get along well with humans most of the times. But frustrated ones can be really terrifying. So much so, that one such dolphin has caused a ban on a French beach town. The seaside village of Brittany is not allowing any tourists to swim in the beach, as sexually frustrated dolphin, named Zafar is causing trouble. Zafar approaches the tourists and locals, rubbing himself against them.

The dolphin's behaviour has proved dangerous in one or two cases. Zafar has rubbed himself against the kayaks in the beach and also tried to stop a woman to get back at the beach, by using its nose to push the woman. The Landevennec beach is thus closed for the tourists as well as locals. Fish With Pigeon Head Found in China, Watch Video of The Weird Looking Mutant Species! 

Zafar, the three-metre long dolphin is a regular at the beach but off late his friendly behaviour has changed. The children in the sailing boats were happy to see his antics around them. He would enjoy around these boats and also take some swimmers to take the grip of his fin, riding and swimming with him. But of late, he is becoming aggressive. Thus a new bylaw was issued last week by the mayor of Landévennec, Roger Lars. "Approaching within 50 metres of the dolphin is also forbidden," the law text reads. Beluga Whale Kisses a Child, Gets Confused After She Starts Crying, Watch This Cute Video.

The safety of the tourists and children is of prime importance and thus the new rule has to be issued. His recent behaviour even scared some of the tourists especially when he lifted a woman swimmer with his nose. It is said that Zafar is having sexual deprivation with no mate around. Dolphins can display sexual behaviour towards humans at times and end up seriously injuring the person if they feel threatened. However, dolphin attacks are also rare.
