Dolphins Dazzle With Delightful Display of Athleticism

A stampede of more than 100 dolphins was spotted racing alongside a whale-watching vessel just off the coastline from Newport Beach, California, on Wednesday, August 27.

Passengers aboard a Newport Coastal Adventure vessel marvelled at the energetic display, as the dolphins repeatedly leaped from the water in a feat of raw athleticism.

Some of the dolphins launched themselves more than 10 feet into the air, leaving watchers speechless.

“This type of ‘high flying’ behavior is not commonly seen by bottlenose dolphins and demonstrates this species’ playful nature and strong social bonds,” Davey’s Locker Whale Watching told Storyful.

The passengers were surely thrilled to bear witness to such a rare phenomenon!
