Cleared for Take-off

BY: nikki

This bottlenose dolphin was snapped mid-flight by a 16-year-old boy who was standing on the back of his family’s boat in Doubtful Sound, Fiordland as a pod of 20 or so frolicked in the boat’s wake.

Bottlenose dolphins are found in all oceans except the colder waters of the Arctic and Antarctic. On average they measure between 6 and 13 feet in length and can weigh up to 1,430 pounds.
