Paralyzed with Fear

While trying to discern the mass, they initially thought it to be several dark fins rising up out of the water. Terrified, they assumed the worst. Were they about to become prey to a school of deadly sharks?

A Pod of Dolphins

But in relieving turn of events, they were not about to become the feast for the sharks. The fins actually belonged to a harmless pod of dolphins. Some from the group of friendly mammals even popped up to the surface to greet their new friends.

Once in a Lifetime Experience

One veteran surfer who has been riding the water crests for 25 years recalled he encountered a similar situation.“I nearly fell off when the first one jumped and had to regain myself while one after the other they jumped out of the wave. It was mind-blowing and I feel really lucky to have that happen.”

Extremely Caring Creatures

These creatures are one of the most fascinating species in the world. In fact, these friendly mammals are known to care for their own when they are sick, injured or elderly. Known as a pod, they will stick together with their kin in the best and worst of times. Scientists believe that when it comes to brain-to-body ratio, dolphins come in second to humans.

Encounters Across the Globe

Across the world, people are recorded experiencing amazing encounters with these noble creatures. Whether out in the wild or in captivity, dolphins continue to captivate the hearts of humans. Honestly, it’s not hard to see why.
