Beggar the Dolphin Sarasota Florida
Who would think a Dolphin called Beggar the Dolphin would be so famous but this dolphin is. He lives off the coast of Sarasota and he made the news because of his begging for food. This dolphin swims up to boats in the bay and opens his mouth next to the fishing boats and begs for food.
It seems like a lot of boaters are feeding him. If you do a search on Youtube, and type Beggar the Dolphin or Begger the Dolphin, you will find a lot of homemade videos of people feeding this dolphin.

What do you think, should people be allowed to feed wild dolphins?

Definitely no!! It’s against federal law, plus it causes all sorts of problems for the dolphin.

No you should not feed the wild animals. It makes them depend on us and what happens if that marina disappears what is Beggars going to do then???
Also being a local I hear he is not to nice and bites.
