Description This dolphin has been nicknamed Moochie by local residents because he comes over to boats when they are in a certain section of the Intercoastal near Sarasota, Florida. It is now illegal to feed him but it wasn't in the past. Old habits are hard to break.

I've met Moochie!!!!! Wow, that's so fantastic! I met him when I was off from wrk one day a month or two ago, I was reading and sitting down at the docks in SRQ bay area, and he came up. It was probably the most magical thing I have ever experienced!

Moochie is a handsome boy! I think it's best not to feed wild animals like this. They lose their ability search for food on their own quite often.

I think that is why they past the law in the area. I'm sure there are some that still drop him treats.

Those are people who don't understand nature, I guess. Too bad.

I wish he would have stayed around longer but as soon as he knew we weren't going to feed him, he left for another boat.
