A dolphin has captured the hearts of fishermen in Chengene Skele

A small dolphin has become a true attraction and a favorite of the fishermen and visitors at the Chengene Skele fishing port near Burgas. For several days now, the marine creature has been swimming around the pier, completely undisturbed by people and boats.

"This little dolphin has found a favorite spot – the pier at Chengene Skele. For several days now, it has been delighting people there and reminding us how beautiful and alive our sea is," said the Mayor of Burgas, Dimitar Nikolov.

Local fishermen already consider the mammal their mascot and are even discussing a suitable name for it. The curious guest frequently surfaces near the piers, drawing dozens of gazes.

Why does the dolphin stay near the shore?

The unusual guest continues to circle around the pier, and the residents of Burgas hope that the little dolphin will stay near the shore for a long time to come, bringing joy to anyone who decides to take a walk to the fishing village.
