It was a \u2018stampede\u2019 of dolphins<\/a>! The massive pod must\u2019ve included thousands of dolphins, and watching them leaping out of the water by the dozens is simply breathtaking! Luckily, @abc7newsbayarea <\/a>shared footage of their spectacular find. <\/p>\n View directly on TikTok<\/a><\/p>\n It\u2019s like a photograph out of National Geographic came to life before their eyes! This is a moving sight, even on a screen, but I can only imagine how exhilarating it is to watch and photograph in real time.<\/p>\n Domenic Biagini, owner and operator of Gone Whale Watching San Diego, was among the lucky group to see the pod. The tour group<\/a> director estimated there were between 2,000 and 7,000 dolphins! <\/p>\n \u201cA normal-sized pod of common dolphins<\/a> is somewhere between 100-500,\u201d he explained. \u201cTo see a group of that size take off in every direction at the same time is genuinely breathtaking.\u201d<\/p>\n Reactions to the Massive Dolphin Pod<\/p>\n Some commenters were so awe-struck by the pod of dolphins that they didn\u2019t believe what they were seeing. Even though several viewers asked whether this was another AI animal video<\/a>, everything seems to check out. Other commenters even shared stories of their own dolphin sightings!<\/p>\n \u201cI went whale watching in San Diego back in 2021, and I was able to witness this,\u201d one person explained. \u201cIt\u2019s absolutely magical.\u201d <\/p>\n That sounds incredible! November is the ideal time to go dolphin watching in California, but lucky watchers may be spotted year-round. Why not see these beautiful creatures for yourself?<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc36<\/a>\u00a0SIGN UP to get \u201cpawsitivity\u201d delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends<\/a>\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e<\/a><\/p>\n About the author Gabrielle LaFrank is a Pet News Writer who covers animal-related news, viral posts, and social media trends.
