My dear friend Maunsel sent me the most incredible email, pictures and story this morning. Thought y'all might enjoy the pictures, good thing someone rescued him. Wonder whatever happened to to this beautiful guy?
Back in the 60's, a storm washed a porpoise into Phillips Inlet/Lake Powell. He got really comfortable in there and became very friendly. He would come up to your boat and play. Then fishermen started to mistreat him . The guy who rented boats on the lake built a pen and kept him there for a while until he became pretty rambunctuous. Eventually, some State wildlife biologists came and declared that he was sex starved and took him away. We used to go see the porpoise a lot in those days. It was right around the time the TV series, "Flipper" was running.

Remember (from the other thread) they are the only ones that have sex for pleasure other than humans!
