This type of dolphin with its stocky body and bulbous head can weigh as much as 1,100 pounds and reach up to 13 feet long.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\"><span class=\"img embed__content\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/01\/29\/2f452a07-5ed9-4f1c-abfb-7c7ce9dbc2c2\/thumbnail\/620x930g2\/988c41234faeb102614146bb6db740f6\/ap25028668907148.jpg?v=d4034f91d2441fe84007132fdf593e3f#\" alt=\"Dolphins-Super Pod-California \" height=\"930\" width=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/01\/29\/2f452a07-5ed9-4f1c-abfb-7c7ce9dbc2c2\/thumbnail\/620x930g2\/988c41234faeb102614146bb6db740f6\/ap25028668907148.jpg?v=d4034f91d2441fe84007132fdf593e3f 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/01\/29\/2f452a07-5ed9-4f1c-abfb-7c7ce9dbc2c2\/thumbnail\/1240x1860g2\/eb4a5866c6827cd70bf7bb52ac1d7d53\/ap25028668907148.jpg?v=d4034f91d2441fe84007132fdf593e3f 2x\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\"><span class=\"embed__caption\">This image provided by the Monterey Bay Whale Watch shows a cluster of dolphins across Carmel Bay on the central coast of California on Friday, Jan. 24, 2025.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Evan Brodsky \/ AP<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Colleen Talty, a marine biologist on the trip to track the annual migration of Gray whales headed to breeding lagoons off Mexico&#8217;s Baja California coast, called it &#8220;pretty amazing&#8221; to see more than 1,500 dolphins cavorting all around their boat.<\/p>\n<p>Some, she said, were even swimming at the front of the vessel and using the waves to propel them forward, a technique known as bow riding.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They were just having a great time. So they were breaching everywhere &#8230; tail slapping, coming right over to the boat. They looked like they were having a big party,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>The large mix of adult and juvenile dolphins was likely the result of several pods coming together and swimming south, she said.<\/p>\n<p>Although this is not the first time they&#8217;ve seen this large of a group, it&#8217;s not a common occurrence, Talty said.<\/p>\n<p>The Monterey coastline is a particularly ideal location to spot the dolphins because they prefer extremely deep water. The area&#8217;s underwater submarine canyon means they may swim much closer to shore than elsewhere along the California coast, said Talty.<\/p>\n<p>The team didn&#8217;t initially grasp the sheer size of the super pod that appeared Friday morning, thinking there were only several hundred dolphins.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Once we put the drone up, I was just blown away \u2026 I kept saying, &#8216;Look at my screen. Look at my screen. Look how many there are,'&#8221; said Brodsky. &#8220;It just blows my mind every time. It never gets old.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Talty described one particularly memorable moment Friday in which she stood at the front of the boat and looked down to see several dolphins turning on their sides and staring straight back at her.<\/p>\n<p>As the dolphins continued to interact with the boat, the team drove straight ahead, making sure to stay out of their way.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You don&#8217;t want to make any abrasive maneuvers and potentially injure an animal. That&#8217;s of course the last thing you ever want to do,&#8221; Brodsky said. &#8220;So we just cruise along with them. It was an incredible experience.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\"><span class=\"img embed__content\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/01\/29\/15d061ca-a769-4141-8e77-c32655eb23e5\/thumbnail\/620x413\/64bc262526fd8a9cae4fd92b8b588ab1\/ap25028676814352.jpg?v=d4034f91d2441fe84007132fdf593e3f#\" alt=\"Dolphins-Super Pod-California \" height=\"413\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/01\/29\/15d061ca-a769-4141-8e77-c32655eb23e5\/thumbnail\/620x413\/64bc262526fd8a9cae4fd92b8b588ab1\/ap25028676814352.jpg?v=d4034f91d2441fe84007132fdf593e3f 1x, https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/01\/29\/15d061ca-a769-4141-8e77-c32655eb23e5\/thumbnail\/1240x826\/53b815dfa2c2d609f54b7ab5d48a1186\/ap25028676814352.jpg?v=d4034f91d2441fe84007132fdf593e3f 2x\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg'%20viewBox%3D'0%200%20620%20413'%2F%3E\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\"><span class=\"embed__caption\">This image provided by the Monterey Bay Whale Watch shows a cluster of dolphins across Carmel Bay on the central coast of California on Friday, Jan. 24, 2025.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Evan Brodsky \/ AP<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Monterey Bay Whale Watch has captured stunning video of marine mammals before.\u00a0 In 2023, the group released footage of <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/killer-whales-spotted-hunting-sea-lions-california-coast\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">&#8220;rarely seen&#8221; orcas<\/a><\/span> hunting sea lions off the California coast.
