2016 Wildlife Photo Contest

Bottlenose dolphins, Abel Tasman National Park, New Zealand
Synchronized swimmers

Species: Bottlenose dolphins | Location: Abel Tasman National Park, New Zealand

While on a boat cruise in Abel Tasman National Park in New Zealand, a pod of bottlenose dolphins was playing in our boat's wake. This mother and child combination timed their jump perfectly, and my timing was most fortunate.
