(OCEANS) CALIFORNIA — A tour boat filled with passengers was taken by complete surprise last week after tens of thousands of dolphins spanning across seven miles of sea swarmed together off the coast of San Diego. As seen in a video uploaded to YouTube on Sunday, the boat’s passengers screamed and pointed as they witnessed what the ship’s captain called a “super mega-pod” jumping up and down in a feeding frenzy. Capt. Joe Dutra of Hornblower Cruisestold NBC Bay Area that he spotted the estimated 100,000 common dolphins on Thursday around noon while he was on his daily tour. He said the pod was more than seven miles long and five miles wide. Read on to learn more about this rare phenomenon and watch the video of the spectacular footage. — Global Animal

AUSTRALIA – (DOLPHIN VIDEO) Billie the dolphin may have only spent a few weeks in captivity for rehabilitation, but it was enough time for her to learn a few tricks. Now she’s teaching the secret of tail-walking to wild dolphins in her pod. Watch the amazing video of these wild dolphins tail-walking across the river. We like to think of it as a sort of river dance. Currently, six dolphins have the moves down. There’s incentive to pass it on – the more who learn, the more dance partners. – Global Animal
AUSTRALIA (VIDEO) – See how wild dolphins are naturally learning to “walk” on water, furiously paddling their tail fluke, forcing their body out and across the water. Amazing!
