A dolphin living in Venice could be killed by tourist boats, locals have warned, as they call for the mammal to be removed from the lagoon for its own safety.
The bottlenose mammal, nicknamed Mimmo, was first spotted in the waters of St Mark’s Basin in June by a water taxi driver. The dolphin has delighted tourists with its acrobatic dives and fish-catching prowess, becoming a regular feature in sightseer’s snaps while on boat trips.
