'It's Got My Fingers! Dolphin 'Attacks' Fisherman, Fun Encounter Captured On Video

Dolphins are adorable creatures and this one turned out to be a little feisty as it tried to bite a man's hand when he tried to touch it. The whole incident was captured on camera but it was nowhere even close to an attack.

The dolphin, named Frodo sank its teeth into fisherman Ty Duncan's hand in Noosa, Queensland, Australia. Duncan has been a regular visitor of the friendly creature for several years now.

In the video, Frodo can be seen swimming close to Duncan's fishing boat and as the fisherman stretches out his arm to touch the friendly ocean creature, it lifts its head and grabs the man's hands in its jaws.

The dolphin holds on to Duncan's hand as he behind to laugh while saying, "It's got my fingers!"

Duncan went on to pat the dolphin's head.

Duncan told Daily Mail Australia, "The bite doesn¡¯t hurt at all, it was just playing. That specific dolphin is always super friendly. It might recognise my boat or something. I¡¯ve seen him for at least the last five years".

The fisherman added, "Other dolphins will keep their distance and won't really engage but this one, as you can see, doesn't mind it at all".

When the video was posted on social media, people found it extremely adorable. One user said, "It seems like dolphins are the golden retrievers of the sea. Another wrote, "It just wants to have a swim buddy, jump in and have a go at it."
