Dolphins do not have a specific estrus period, and sometimes do sex acts for enjoyment instead of breeding purpose. And it sometimes turns sexual behavior to animals other than dolphins. For this reason, the publicity of the Oceanopolis aquarium urges the swimmer to "pay attention to sexually matured marine beasts". Even if Zafar does not intend to attack, it is said that if a person is beaten with a dolphin's tail, it may be seriously damaged.

However, it is rare for dolphins to attack or hurt humans, and the action of mayor Lars is "doing too much". Lawyer Erwan Le Cornec said: "If such rules are applied, a ban should also be issued for pedestrians approaching a dogged dog."
