Whale watchers in Monterey Bay, California witnessed an impressive and rare show when a dolphin emerged from the water and backflipped through the air on May 7.

Nancy Black, a marine biologist who works for Monterey Bay Whale Watch, told Storyful that this, “is a rarely seen leaping behavior and passengers on the whale watch trip were thrilled to see so many wild dolphins.” Credit: Monterey Bay Whale Watch via Storyful
