Missing Fungie: Ireland gripped by mysterious disappearance of beloved dolphin

Sky News published this video item, entitled “Missing Fungie: Ireland gripped by mysterious disappearance of beloved dolphin” – below is their description.

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.

In This Story: Ireland

Ireland is an island in the North Atlantic. It is separated from Great Britain to its east by the North Channel, the Irish Sea, and St George’s Channel.

Geopolitically, Ireland is divided between the Republic of Ireland (officially named Ireland), which covers five-sixths of the island, and Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom. As of 2016, 4.8 million people live in the Republic of Ireland, and 1.8 million live in Northern Ireland.

The Irish climate is influenced by the Atlantic Ocean and thus very moderate, and winters are milder than expected for such a northerly area, although summers are cooler than those in continental Europe. Rainfall and cloud cover are abundant.

A strong Irish culture exists, as expressed through Gaelic games, Irish music and the Irish language. The island’s culture shares many features with that of Great Britain, including the English language, and sports such as association football, rugby, horse racing, and golf.
