Ship's Bow-Cam Captures Dolphins Gliding Through Water Off Florida Coast

An underwater camera mounted on a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) ship filmed a pod of dolphins gliding through Florida waters, footage posted on July 28 shows.

This clip, posted on Facebook by the NOAA research and survey vessel Ferdinand Hassler, shows Atlantic bottlenose dolphins swimming through the ocean. The NOAA said the footage was taken off the coast of Port Canaveral, Florida, on July 15.

The crew of the Ferdinand Hassler was especially excited by a baby dolphin who appears about halfway through the footage and swims alongside the rest of the group. “See how hard it’s pumping its little tail!” the caption read. Credit: NOAA Ship Ferdinand Hassler via Storyful
