2016 Wildlife Photo Contest

Long-Beaked Common Dolphin (Delphinus capensis), San Diego, CA, USA, USA
Streamlined

Species: Long-Beaked Common Dolphin (Delphinus capensis) | Location: San Diego, CA, USA, USA

On a whale-watching tour off the coast of San Diego, CA, we encountered a mega-pod of dolphins. Hundreds of them swam and leapt out of the water alongside our boat. This one in particular could jump exceptionally high, allowing me to snap his picture while airborne.
