Idiotic tourists have ignored warnings to stay away from a viral bottlenose dolphin who could harm or even kill someone.
Adults and young children were spotted surrounding the solitary male dolphin, who was officially named Reggie, despite serious calls to avoid the mammal for their own safety and his.
Reggie captured hearts when he joined swimmers for an early morning dip this month, having become a frequent sight in Lyme Bay, Dorset.
He arrived at the area on his own in February, before suffering a nasty gash in July - an injury believed to have been caused by a boat propellor.
After footage of Reggie swimming with a family went viral, The Marine Management Organisation (MMO) held an emergency online event strictly warning people against contact wit the mammal.
