Daily Mail quoted Duncan as saying, "The bite doesn’t hurt at all, it was just playing. That specific dolphin is always super friendly. It might recognise my boat or something. I’ve seen him for at least the last five years. Other dolphins will keep their distance and won't really engage but this one, as you can see, doesn't mind it at all." Mother Humpback Whale Attacks Swimmer at Ningaloo Reef in Australia to Protect Its Calf, Leaves Woman Seriously Injured.
