Large Pod of Dolphins Stampede Off Californian Coast

Storyful

Dozens of dolphins raced through the waves in a stampede near Oceanside, California, footage posted to Instagram on August 16 shows.

The video, recorded by Chelsea Bradley, shows a large pod of dolphins rising up and diving back into the water at high speed, a behavior referred to as stampeding.

Though the cause for dolphins to stampede remains uncertain, it has been attributed to providing a method of travel that is faster for the pod. Credit: Chelsea Bradley via Storyful
