Fungie, who is a bottlenose dolphin, has been swimming with the boats in Dingle harbour since 1984. No one really knows why some of these creatures suddenly take to a solitary way of life, but perhaps his persistence in maintaining it and physical conditions would at least indicate the area is a welcoming home with not too many natural dangers.
