Irish hunt for Fungie the dolphin put on hold because of bad weather

Wildlife celebrity missing for six days after decades of enchanting Dingle peninsula

Bad weather has forced search-and-rescue teams to suspend a search for Fungie, a dolphin who has vanished off the coast of Kerry after almost 40 years of enchanting fishermen and visitors to the south-western tip of Ireland.

The wildlife celebrity has not been seen for six days, prompting fears he is sick or has died and that a magical era for the Dingle peninsula has ended.
