Davina the Dolphin : ウィキペディア英語版
Davina the Dolphin
Davina the Dolphin (formerly Dave the Dolphin) was a sociable solitary dolphin who resided off the coast in the Shepway area of England for approximately eighteen months.〔(Solitary Sociable Dolphins, an update from the UK; by Mark Simmonds )〕 This was a very unusual situation as dolphins normally reside with family groups known as pods, and are not usually seen on their own.〔(Marine Connection: The Solitary dolphin phenomenon )〕 She was often spotted swimming in the English Channel. There is a website dedicated to the dolphin which was created by an angler called Simon Chandler.〔(Simon Chandler's Sandgate dolphin website> )〕
During her time in the area, Davina received several serious injuries from being struck by boat propellers of people going out to see her. In August, 2007, she received an injury to her dorsal fin that took several months to heal.〔(Dolphin hit by boat propeller )〕 Then, in October, she lost a third of her tail, and this was considered a life-threatening injury.〔(Concern for missing Kent dolphin )〕 She was successfully treated with antibiotics administered by a vet working with the cetacean rescue organisation British Divers Marine Life Rescue.
〔(Article about injury and treatment )〕
She was seen in the area after this, and her condition appeared to be improving. However, she suddenly went missing from the area shortly after this. She was last reported to be seen in early November 2007.〔(Still no sign of Dave the dolphin )〕 Although (BDMLR ) marine mammal medics are still visiting the area on a regular basis, she has not been seen since, and there are fears that she may have died of an infection to her tail wound or may have been caught and drown in fishing nets. But there has been no confirmation of this either way and hopes are that she is still alive but has simply left the area or perhaps rejoined another pod of dolphins.〔(Press release from BDMLR, Marine Connection,and WDCS: Dave missing and feared dead )〕
British Divers Marine Life Rescue had volunteers watching out for the safety of the dolphin and monitoring Davina and the behaviour of members of the public around her from the moment she appeared in the area. They also provided educational materials, passing out information leaflets to people on the beach and answering questions.〔
(Tougher laws needed to protect friendly dolphins )〕 Along with other organisations from the Marine Animal Rescue Coalition, BDMLR was concerned for the safety and well being of any solitary dolphin due to these animals often becoming harmed by human interaction. Davina is a female bottlenosed dolphin, and she is estimated to be about 6 years old according to the MARC.〔(Newspaper article: Zoologist claims Dave the dolphin is a girl )〕
On 9 June 2007, two men were arrested while swimming with Dave, for the crime of 'disturbing' a dolphin.〔(Pair charged over dolphin actions )〕 They pled not guilty and the case is still ongoing at Folkestone Magistrate's Court.〔(Kent Online newspaper article on court case )〕 On April 17, 2008 Michael Jukes, 27 and Daniel Buck, 26, were both ordered to carry out 120 hours of unpaid work after magistrates convicted them of intentionally or recklessly disturbing a wild animal contrary to the Wildlife and Countryside Act of 1981.
