OceanX | These Dolphins Make Flipping 20 ft in the Air Look Effortless @OceanX | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
Spotted off the coast of southern California, these bottlenose dolphins were repeatedly flipping 20 ft (6 meters) in the air. Jumping that high takes so much energy to do, so it's a rare sight to see.
This behavior could be connected to communication or hunting, but it also could just be playful behavior and the dolphins having fun. The whale watching company that filmed them said there was an abundance of anchovy off the coast recently, so the dolphins were likely very fed and happy, and full of energy.
