On the coast of California, an amazing sight was captured in the video. A flock of more than 1,500 dolphins, stretched for a kilometer, dived and jumped out of the water along the bay of Karmel.

Scientists note that this is a unique event. According to the National Administration of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research, RISSO dolphins usually travel to groups from only 10 to 30 animals, writes Phys. Org.

A small team of researchers monitored the annual migration of gray whales heading to propagating lagons off the coast of Lower California in Mexico, but suddenly stumbled upon a huge flock of dolphins.

“As far as I could see, they were on the horizon,” said Captain Evan Brodsky from the observation department of whales in the Bay of the Monterey, who removed the shutters of the huge accumulation of the dolphins of RISSO.

Marine biologist Colin Talti, who also participated in the journey, said that it was "

Some of the dolphins of the RISSO, having a stocky body and an onion head, even swam in the front of the vessel and used waves to move it forward, says Talti.

" They clapped their tails, approached the boat right. It was an incredible experience. It looked like Rice was a large party, ”the biologist said.

According to scientists, the coastal line of Monterey is a particularly perfect place to observe dolphins, as they prefer extremely deep water. The underwater canyon of this area means that they can swim much closer to the shore than anywhere along the coast of California, Colin noted.

The team of researchers did not immediately reach the size of Super Station, believing that there were only a few hundred dolphins there.

" I said: " See how many of them, ”emphasized Captain Evan Brodsky.
