24.07.2016 – Flying dolphins

Are there flying dolphins? Sometimes yes, like today, when Atlantic Spotted dolphins rush with high speed toward us. They stretch their little, round bodies, they give everything and it looks like they remain in the air for quite a while … these simply are flying dolphins. It is such a pleasure to see this behavior and it seems it is even a greater delight for these dolphins to sail through the air. And so, after a sighting with Bottlenose dolphins, which traveled in leisurely pace, we had this active and smaller type of dolphins.
