It's a weird, weird world we live in; and this story does nothing to dispel that claim. A woman has had sex with a dolphin. Genuinely, seriously, literally, and all the other adverbs you can think of. So far, so bizarre. Three dolphins were housed in a 'domestic dolphinarium' - essentially a normal house flooded with knee-deep water - in an attempt to bring them closer to their human teachers. But Margaret made a special connection with Peter, the only male dolphin of the group, who she has described as "a young guy" who was "sexually coming of age and a bit naughty". The more time Margaret spent with the naughty male dolphin, the closer he became to her. He would rub himself on my knee, my foot or my hand and I allowed that," she explained. But, being the "rambunctious" adolescent that Peter was, it soon became too disruptive to send him down the elevator of the dolphinarium to 'play' with his female fellow species and rid him of his urges.
