Dolphins-World — Wed, 29 Jan 2014 05:30:31 +0000

Great video filmed in a water park in Vancouver, Canada where we can see every detail of how the Pacific White-Sided Dolphins jump out of water. This species is one of the most eager to perform stunts and probably the most widespread in aquariums in North America. Their incredible ability allows them to fall over their backs, something not possible for some animals. One of the main tourist attractions of the Vancouver Aquarium are their marine mammals. Dolphins, beluga whales and sea otters are some of the species that can be found in this aquarium of 9,000 square meters.
