April 17, 2020 — The social distancing rules and “stay at home” measures may cause odd behavior. Like Dalmatians committing the unthinkable sin of giving free fish to the world’s beloved aquatic freeloaders: dolphins.
The official Facebook page for Milna, on the island of Brač, shows the warm-blooded scavengers of the deep blue sea blissfully scrounging on trash fish straight out of a local’s hands. (One bite came a bit too close.) After a bit of caution, they began enjoying a bit of a free meal, even taking turns at one point.
Old fishermen on the Adriatic once considered dolphins the bane of their existence, mistakenly thinking the mammals would eat fish out of their nets. This sparked an unfortunate backlash which has slowed significantly over the last decade.
But that doesn’t mean dolphins won’t go belly-up for some free fish!
