(CNN) — As the Irish government moves the country back into a strict, national lockdown for six weeks, an unlikely story continues to break through the endless Covid-19 headlines.
Fungie, a bottlenose dolphin, is missing from the scenic County Kerry coast in Ireland's southwest, where he has lived at the entrance to Dingle's harbor since 1983.
Over the past 37 years, the wild marine mammal has become an Irish celebrity thanks to his friendly nature and love of people, with visitors coming from far and wide to take a boat into the small port town's harbor for a closer look.
But the Guinness World Records title-holder for the "longest recorded solitary dolphin" has not been seen since last Thursday when he swam alongside a fisherman's boat, locals who helped coordinate the search for him told CNN.
Now they are are fearing the worst.
