‘Dolphin Stampede’ Caught on Camera Off Dana Point “Video”

Hundreds of dolphins were seen frolicking in the water off Dana Point on Thursday in what is known as a “dolphin stampede.”

Whale watchers off the coast of Dana Point were treated to a rare and unexpected sight on Thursday when hundreds of common dolphins began porpoising at high speed out of the water.

The video was recorded aboard a catamaran operated by Captain Dave’s Dolphin and Whale Safari in Dana Point.

The behavior is commonly referred to as a dolphin stampede, according to a YouTube post by the company.

“This breathtaking behavior can happen at any time and without any apparent cause,” the post stated.

According to the post, “porpoising is the fastest mode of travel for dolphins because there is less resistance in air than water.”
