  • Ireland has been gripped by the mysterious disappearance of a beloved dolphin.
    Fungie, a solitary bottlenose, appeared in County Kerry's Dingle Harbour in 1983 and never left. He quickly became a major tourism draw in the area, and enchanted generations of foreign tourists and Irish visitors alike.
    Now he has suddenly vanished. Local boatmen say he has never previously been gone for more than a few hours in 37 years.

      If he died would they not of found his body somewhere such as floating on top of the water or laying at the bottom of the sea bed. It's weird how there is no trace of him.
