On 3rd June, the official Instagram handle of the Olympics shared a video of dolphins porpoising in the turquoise waters of Esperance beach. In the video’s description, it was said, “These dolphins would win gold at the #ISAWorlds for sure.” With their impressive gallop, these dolphins may make a good showing in the 2023 ISA World Surfing Games, which are being discussed on the official Olympics Instagram account.

The video illustrates that these animals can glide effortlessly across the water of Esperance. In addition to swimming with the waves, the dolphins are seen doing a spectacular feat in which they gallop in the opposite direction of the waves.

The precision with which one dolphin follows the next demonstrates their remarkable ability to work together.
