But on Tuesday night, they could not do anything about a pod of curious dolphins.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A handful of the marine mammals swam up to a recovery boat that was set to lift the Crew Dragon Freedom to its deck and surfaced from the clear blue waters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWow, we got a cute little pod of dolphins, it wasn\u2019t just one or two,\u201d said Kate Tice, an engineering manager at SpaceX who was commentating on the company\u2019s video stream. As the dolphins\u2019 dorsal fins bobbed, she said that the team working on retrieving the capsule was \u201cgetting quick assists from the honorary part of the recovery team, those dolphins.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Dolphins are generally social and playful marine mammals and often travel in groups, or pods. The most common species near Florida\u2019s Gulf Coast are bottle-nosed dolphins, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, although it was not clear which species was circling the SpaceX crews on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Todd Speakman, a field biologist with the National Marine Mammal Foundation, said while he couldn\u2019t definitively identify the dolphin species, he said it was likely a stenella dolphin, which are often found near the Gulf Coast.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He said he wasn\u2019t surprised that the pod approached the capsule shortly after splashdown.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWith there being that much activity, they\u2019re just curious animals, so they\u2019re going to come check it out,\u201d Mr. Speakman said, adding that dolphins will often swim around their research ships.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It\u2019s not the first time wildlife have visited astronauts just after they returned to Earth. In 2021, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.clickorlando.com\/news\/local\/2021\/05\/02\/dolphin-gets-front-row-seat-for-crew-1-astronauts-splashdown-return-to-earth\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">photographers captured<\/a> a lone dolphin swimming near the recovery boats headed to pick up the Dragon spacecraft used for SpaceX\u2019s Crew-1 mission.
