Yet thatโ€™s exactly what happened last summer, when a lone dolphin nicknamed Mimmo began cruising through the Venetian Lagoon, and eventually settled in San Marco Basin, one of the busiest tourist hubs in Venice. Bottlenose dolphins typically travel in small social groups, making extended solitary stays like this relatively rare. Now, a study published in Frontiers in Ethology documents the dolphinโ€™s movements over several months and explores what his presence reveals about wildlife management in urban waters. The researchers say Mimmoโ€™s appearance isnโ€™t the real concern. Human behavior is. โ€œWe present the case of one of the most charismatic animals in one of the most iconic cities: a solitary dolphin in Venice,โ€ said senior author Guido Pietroluongo in a press release. โ€œOur observations document this animalโ€™s remarkable adaptation to an unusual context and highlight the need to manage human behavior to ensure its welfare.โ€ A Solitary Dolphin in Venice Bottlenose dolphins once moved freely throughout the Adriatic Sea, including the Venetian Lagoon.
