In March 1994, Tiao, a male bottlenose dolphin, turned up at a beach near Sao Paolo, Brazil, and took a shine to the bathing beauties and beach bums. Tiao became an overnight sensation, and the bums turned out in their hordes to play with him.
"At times, Tiao would be surrounded by up to 30 people, climbing on his back, tying things to his flippers, sticking things into his blow-hole, hitting him with sticks, even trying to drag him out of the water to be photographed with the family and kids on the beach," reported BBC Wildlife magazine (March 1995).
Hyperbole aside, however, he can't have hated it that much or he wouldn't have stuck around for five minutes, let alone nine months.
Then one day in December, Tiao found himself being pestered by a couple of real bums and head-butted them. He sent one to hospital and the other to the grave, and head-butted several more bathers for good measure.
Tiao is still alive and well, we are informed, and, according to Wildlife, "most visitors now know that when he is around the best thing to do is simply get out of the water."
For the same crime, Jaws got a barrel full of dynamite in his gob.
