He was first sighted off the coast of Dingle in County Kerry, Ireland, in 1983, and is believed to be 40 years old. US wildlife advocate Dean Bernal, who is now JoJo’s official guardian, first met him on a visit in 1984. The Guiness World Records based their findings on a 2019 report reviewing the world’s documented lone whales and dolphins published by cetacean charity Marine Connection.
