Japanese beach closed following dolphin attack [video]
"Suishohama Beach in #Mihama, #Japan, has closed from July 21 following a series of dolphin attacks on beachgoers earlier in the week. Curious footage from July 17 captured a bottlenose dolphin appearing to playfully nip a lone swimmer. But the clip has taken a sinister turn after four swimmers were injured the day before in dolphin attacks."
