Underwater cameraman Igor Goić warned that when the animal appears near people, it tends to become entangled in their legs and moves toward the group, behaving similarly to a dog. He noted that while the shape of its mouth can make people think it is smiling, it is, in fact, a wild animal from which one could expect unpredictable behavior, especially during its eight-year period and in the future. Fisherman Petar Bašić stated, “Everyone is happy to see him, but despite all our happiness, we must strive to protect him.”
These warnings from experts have led to the dolphin, known as Oliver, becoming a recognizable local figure in this marine area.
However, as is common with wild animals that develop trust in people, the distinction between acceptable interaction and danger has become blurred. The dolphin continues to interact closely with people, prompting concerns about its safety and the safety of those around it. Conservationists emphasize that while the bond between the animal and the local community is evident, maintaining appropriate distance and respecting its wild nature is crucial for its long-term welfare.
The experts stress the need for continued vigilance to ensure that the interactions between the dolphin and people remain safe and sustainable.
