Thank you for sharing. My DH and I love to watch the dolphins in the Gulf of Mexico near our home. Last fall we saw the most spectacular show that lasted at least a half hour by at least 30 or more dolphins. It was better than any show we have seen at Sea World or anyplace else. The wild dolphins were jumping very high out of the water and doing flips and turns that had us thinking they were sure to injure themselves. They started out as three or four pods, it was like trying to watch a couple of tennis matches at once. Our heads kept turning left and right so we wouldn't miss anything. They appeared to be trying to outdo one another. I told my husband it might be mating season. I still haven't googled that yet. I think I will now. After a long time the pods started joining one another and it ended up as one huge pod. We were surprised they didn't bump into each other. We were thrilled to see that right off the beach in front of us. I hope it wasn't a once in a lifetime thing. Thank you, again.
